Fig. 3: Taxonomic diversity of gut viruses in IBS.

a Gene-sharing network of the metagenome-assembled viral genomes in IBS and healthy controls obtained from vConTACT2 and visualized using Cytoscape, with the viral genomes being colored according to the family assignment. Nodes represent viral genomes and edges indicate similarity based on shared protein clusters. b Comparison of the viral family distribution of viral genomes in HC and IBS. c Gene-sharing network of the metagenome-assembled viral genomes in IBS with mental disorders. d Significantly altered viral families of viral genomes in IBS with mental disorders (Wilcoxon test, p < 0.05).
