Overview of the KO number statistics
DNA | RNA | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Bacteria | Archaea | Bacteria | Archaea | |
Average KO numbers | 5721 ± 546 | 2927 ± 152a | 5839 ± 564 | 2511 ± 330a |
Significant higher KO numbers | 663 | 630 | 2522 | 338 |
Significant (P < 0.001) differences, as determined by a t test, between bacteria and archaea or between DNA and RNA are indicated by letter “a”. Significant higher KO numbers were determined based on a significant higher relative abundance on DNA or RNA level
