Fig. 2: Overview and characteristics of detected ancient microbial DNA.
From: The spatiotemporal distribution of human pathogens in ancient Eurasia
a, Bar plot showing the total number of putative ancient microbial hits (overall detection rate in brackets) for bacterial, eukaryotic and viral (n ≥ 4) genera. Bar colour and shading distinguishes counts in the different aDNA damage categories. b,c, Distributions of ANI (b) and log10 fold change of mapped reads over median of reads classified at taxonomic rank of genus per sample (c) for individual species hits in selected example genera. Symbol colour indicates aDNA damage category.
