Figure 1. Mid-vaginal microbiome profiles using genus-level taxonomic classification.

Figure 1

A total of 650 microbiome profiles are represented. Each bar represents the genus-level microbiome profile for one mid-vaginal sample and each color represents a distinct genus. Mid-vaginal swab samples were obtained from participants enrolled in the Vaginal Human Microbiome Project at VCU. The V1–V3 hypervariable of the 16S rRNA gene was targeted, and on average, approximately 30,000 reads per sample were generated using the Roche 454 GS FLX Titanium platform.
