Figure 3. Strain resolution discrimination of microbes is achieved by EASi-seq.

a) Phylogenetic tree of the twenty-two E. lenta strains that make up the synthetic community.

b) UMAP clustering based on Bayesian abundance estimation of strains in each barcode group. Colors are the same as in (a), with any mixed/unresolved barcodes colored grey. The inset pie graph quantifies the fraction of barcode counts corresponding to each strain (excluding the mixed or unresolved barcodes), showing agreement with the expected equal distribution of strains.
