Relative abundances in the wild house mouse Mus musculus domesticus (n = 8). We compared oral microbial population analyses in the wild house mouse Mus musculus domesticus by laboratory culture (red) and Illumina MiSeq 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (green) amplifying the V1-V2 region of the 16S rRNA gene. The amplicon sequencing data were analyzed using DADA2 v1.8 against a custom-made taxonomy reference data set from this database. The top 10 most relatively abundant taxa identified after normalization of counts are listed.
