Extended Data Fig. 10. Distribution of contig abundances.

Extended Data Fig. 10

(a) Probability density function (p.d.f.) for contig abundances (n = 4571 non-identical contigs. The dotted line plots the log-normal distribution with the same median and interquartile distance. (b) Quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot of the distribution of contig abundances (n = 4571 non-identical contigs) versus the standard normal distribution. The figure shows that at the first approximation the distribution of contig abundances follows the log-normal distribution (typical in complex environments), but the deviations (a pronounced heavy tail of high values) hints on a dynamic environment producing superabundant viral blooms. Source data for panels (A) and (B) are presented in Source Data Figs. 1 and 2, respectively.
