Figure 4

Comparison of the simple collection, OMNIgene, and DNA/RNA shield groups sequenced by long-read next-generation sequencing (LR-NGS). (a, b) Taxonomic barplots showing the taxa and their relative abundances. (a) Phylum level, (b) Genus level. The five most abundant phylum and 20 most abundant genera were shown based on the mean relative abundance of the three groups. (c) Box-and-whisker plots of the alpha diversity indices (observed features, Pielou’s evenness, and Shannon’s entropy). ns not significant (d) Beta diversities (left: Jaccard distances, right: Bray–Curtis distances) as revealed by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) plots.
