Extended Data Fig. 9: Skin metatranscriptomics recapitulates known associations between anti-microbial genes and their targets.
(a) Boxplots of the log10 ratios of Cutibacterium acnes to Staphylococcus epidermidis or Staphylococcus capitis DNA abundances from sebaceous (cheek and scalp) or non-sebaceous (antecubital fossa, volar forearm and toe web) sites. Comparisons are between those with and without expression of thiopeptides ( < 5 RNA reads). (b) Same as (a), except that the comparisons are between those with and without expression of Staphylococcal auto-inducing peptides (AIPs). The number (n) of samples for each group are shown.
