Reduction of host DNA does not influence microbial communities. (a) A MetaPhlAn2 clustered heatmap showing the distribution of microbes in the 12 samples, each representing one nasal sample from the kits applied (TableĀ S2). Kit number is annotated along the x-axis and detected species-level names on the y-axis on the right side. (b) Percent viral DNA (x-axis) in the samples from each kit (y-axis). (c) Scatter plots illustrating Shannon alpha-diversity and Chao1 richness.
