a Phylogenetic distribution of bacterial taxa within the gut microbiome. The tree illustrates the hierarchical relationships among various bacterial orders, families, and genera. The hierarchical structure includes labels for all taxa demonstrating significant differences in any pairwise comparison between 16S rRNA regions. b Pairwise comparisons between specific variable 16S rRNA regions in health and UC. Red or blue colors of nodes and leaves indicate a log-2-fold increase in median abundance (Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted Wilcoxon rank sum q < 0.05). c, d Heatmap showing the median relative abundance (%) of detected families across methods (i.e., 16S rRNA sequencing and WMS) for healthy individuals (c) and UC patients (d). Families not detected by each method are indicated with an “x” on a white background.
