Metabarcoding analysis of samples. (A) Genus-level relative abundance of fungi and human (~ 3.5 kb amplicon region) of sequences taken from patients with/without either Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s (disease and control), alongside analysis of DNA-free standards (negative) and known mock community standards (positive). X-axis indicates each sample, the first y-axis (left-hand side) indicates relative abundance as a percentage and the second y-axis (right-hand side) indicates total read count. Samples marked with a black triangle are from CSF samples, the remaining are from patient brains. Black circles depicts the number of reads per barcode. (B) Box-plot depicting total read numbers for each condition.
