Frequency of each OTU is given all hosts combined. For each OTU, information on the closest sequence (through BLASTn searches) listed in reference sequences comprise: identity of the sequence, GenBank accession number, host species from which the sequence was amplified for the first time, and bibliographic reference associated to the sequence.
