The genus level taxonomic profile archaea in COVID-19 (BD and China) and respiratory tract disease (UK and USA) metagenomes. Stacked bar plots showing the relative abundance and distribution of the 30 most abundant genera, with ranks ordered from bottom to top by their increasing proportion. The first four bar plots represent the abundance of archaea in the corresponding category of COVID-19 (BD and China) and non-COVID (URTI; USA and COPD; UK) disease, and the last two bar plots depict overall relative abundance of archaeal genera in COVID-19 and non-COVID metagenomes, respectively. Only the 29 most abundant genera are shown in the legend, with the remaining genera grouped as ‘Other genera’. The distribution and relative abundance of the archaeal genera in the study metagenomes are also available in Data S1.
