Boxplots show estimated median average genome size (AGS) as horizontal lines and interquartile ranges as boxes (whiskers extend to a maximum of 1.5 times the interquartile range). Mean values are shown as white colored diamonds. Values at the top indicate the adjusted significant P values of the unpaired two-sided Wilcoxon test with Benjamini-Hochberg correction. Values in parenthesis show the number of metagenomes. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
