Transcripts from both the California coast and NPSG metatranscriptomes belonging to photoautotrophic community members (A) and those involved in key metabolic processes such as amino acid metabolism, DNA processing, and translation (B) have the highest connectivity (degree centrality) in transcriptional networks. The scaled connectivity (degree centrality) of transcripts is given on the y-axes, with transcripts ordered highest to lowest based on taxonomic assignment and KEGG annotation. Met: Metabolism; Phosph.: Phosphorylation.
