Comparison of Illumina-V3V4 and ONT-V1V9 approaches using SILVA. (A) \(\alpha\)-diversity indexes at the genus level, comparing the two volunteer groups (cancer vs. control). (B) \(\beta\)-diversity analysis at the genus level. (C) \(\beta\)-diversity analysis at the species level. (D) Mean Centered Log Ratio (CLR) abundance correlation between approaches and for each group (cancer vs. control). Each point represents a different genus, and color indicates if that taxa appear, on average, on both, none or only one of the approaches. Three relevant genera, which contain multiple species related to colorectal cancer are highlighted (Fusobacterium, Parvimonas and Peptostreptococcus).
