Fig. 5: Variability of microbial genera relative abundance.
From: Monitoring the microbiome for food safety and quality using deep shotgun sequencing
a All identified microbial general are plotted with median value and median absolute deviation (MAD) of RPM abundance. Genera with MAD > 5 are labeled with the genus name and a linear fit is indicated by a blue dotted line. b Heatmap (log10-scale) of ten microbial genera with the largest median absolute deviation (MAD) across samples. Genera are ordered by decreasing MAD from top to bottom. Samples were received from Supplier A (blue) and Supplier B (green). Red stars indicate matrix-contaminated samples (from Supplier A).
