a Malaspina 2010 expedition cruise track showing the locations of the 32 stations sampled for the present study. b Representation of the sampling depth and metagenomics dataset generated by the Tara Oceans and Malaspina 2010 Circumnavigation Expeditions. The histogram plot displays the number of stations sampled in the dark ocean during the Tara Oceans (orange) and Malaspina 2010 (blue) expeditions and the distribution by water depth. The Malaspina Gene Database (M-GeneDB) was generated from the integration of 58 metagenomic bathypelagic samples. The asterisk in the histogram indicates the samples collected in the photic layer in Tara Oceans that were not included in the figure. c Analyses of the integrated gene catalog that results from the Tara Oceans (OM-RGC.v2) and M-GeneDB. The relative abundance of unique genes that appear only in Malaspina (MPG) (solid blue), Mixed genes (MG) that are present in both catalogs (red), and the Malaspina Sample-Specific genes (SSG) in white for both the free-living (FL; 0.2–0.8 µm) and particle-attached (PA; 0.8–20 µm) fractions.
