From: Long-read metagenomics of soil communities reveals phylum-specific secondary metabolite dynamics

Fig. 3

a t-SNE visualization of every individual biosynthetic gene identified. The color of the points indicate the phylum assignment whilst shapes indicate the BGC class. b Co-occurrence network based on Pearson correlations (r > 0.8) among entire BGCs (n = 2988) based on average z-scores at each time point. Each node is a BGC within a contig that are colored by phylum and shaped by BGC type. Closely clustered nodes share similar transcriptional profiles. c, Line plot showing 16S rRNA transcript copy number over time shown by black, dotted lines. Average BGC transcription over time shown by the colored, solid lines. Cyanobacteria (green) show a unique night-time upregulation of secondary metabolism. Purple background indicates night-time transcription.
