FIG 1.

Assembly comparisons of DNase-treated and untreated viromes. Each point is one virome, with comparisons according to total contigs assembled (A), total assembly length (B), average contig length (C), and N₅₀ (contig length where half the assembly length is represented in longer contigs and half is represented in shorter contigs) (D). Boxes show the interquartile ranges and median values. Whiskers extend to the furthest nonoutlying data point. P values show the significance of Kruskal-Wallis tests between DNase-treated (n = 7) and untreated (n = 8) samples. Insignificant results (P values of >0.05) are indicated as n.s. (nonsignificant).
