Fig. 3

A Shown are a subset of viral contigs identified through GSB CRISPR spacer matching, plus the identified GSB viral contigs through FACS flow sorting. A complete version of the heatmap is available as Supplementary Fig. S6. The four viral contigs discussed further in this manuscript are labeled in bold; variants of CV-1-33 are labeled as *EV in bold. (left) Black squares are used to signify which contigs were found in the targeted metagenomes (miniMG), and which contigs were recruited through CRISPR spacer matching. (center) Normalized coverage for each sample across all contigs; white space represents insufficient or no coverage for that contig/sample. (right) Shown are the number of unique CRISPR spacers detected in each year. B Shown are the same coverage values for GSB viral contigs, plus white with black circles that represent the presence of one or more CRISPR spacer(s) matching this virus in the corresponding samples.
