a, Quality plot of raw sequencing reads. The y-axis
represents the Phred quality score and the x-axis represents the cycle,
which corresponds to the base position of sequencing reads. The mean quality
score at each base position is shown by a green line and the quartiles of
the quality score distribution are shown by orange lines. The number of
sequencing reads in each sample is shown in red font. The red line shows the
scaled proportion of reads that extend to at least that position.
b, Box plots depicting fungal reads in normal pancreas
tissue (n=5 biologically independent samples) and pancreatic ductal
adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tissue (n=13 biologically independent samples)
c, Box plots depicting sequencing reads assigned to the
fungal genus Malassezia in normal pancreas (n=5
biologically independent samples) and PDAC tissue (n=13 biologically
independent samples). d, Relative abundances, and
e, read counts of the top ten fungal genera in pancreatic
tissue samples from healthy individuals and patients with PDAC. Box plot
minima and maxima bounds represent the 25th and 75th
percentiles, respectively; the centre bound represents the median. Whiskers
extend to 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR). P values were estimated
using two-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum tests (b, c). Individual data
points are shown.
