Genus- and phylum-level classification of bacteria colonizing a composite subject, showing that human microbiome diversity is dependent on the site sampled. Sites in the oral cavity share greater similarity than other types of sites, such as the skin, vagina, and gut. Data derived from the NIH Human Microbiome Project study (http://commonfund.nih.gov/hmp).
