Figure 1. Taxonomic assignments of the acid mine drainage metagenome scaffolds.

Figure 1

Each slice represents number of bases assigned. (a) the PhyloPythiaS generic model at the phylum level, (b) the PhyloPythiaS sample-specific model at the phylum level, (c) the PhyloPythiaS sample-specific model at various ranks, (d) taxonomic reference composition, obtained by alignment of the scaffolds with draft genome assemblies, (e) quantitative cell counts from a FISH study, reproduced from Tyson et al. (2004) [13] and (f) NBC with N-mer length 15 and Bacteria/Archaea genomes at the phylum level. The “Other” slice represents sequences that were unassigned or assigned at a higher level. Assignments were mapped to phylum level in plots a, b and f for ease of visualization.
