Viral Diversity across Lifespan in Healthy, Western Individuals

(A) Composite plot showing (from top to bottom) the number of bacterial operational taxonomic unit (OTU) trends across the life stages derived from a literature review; a map highlighting the origin of the healthy, Western individuals; the number of healthy, Western individuals per life stage; Loess smoothing plots of the number of viral populations; the number of viral populations by type; the number of viral populations by viral family; and the number of crAssphage populations per bp sequenced across the life stages in healthy, Western individuals. Box plots showing median and quartiles and Mann-Whitney U test results between the different life stages can be found in Figure S7.

(B) Box plots showing median and quartiles of the number of viral populations per bp sequenced across the life stages across healthy, Western individuals (left) and across adults and elderly individuals from non-Western Chinese individuals (right). All pairwise comparisons were performed by using Mann-Whitney U tests.

(C) Presence absence plot showing the distribution of the 70 crAssphage populations in the GVD across the healthy, Western individuals.
