Extended Data Figure 6 |. Comparison of the proportional abundance of taxa by 16S rRNA (left), metagenomics (middle) and metatranscriptomics (right) in term (blue) and preterm (red) cohorts.
Proportional abundance is shown relative to the 56 bacterial taxa that were measured across all three assays. The 16S rRNA, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics measures from PTB (n = 41) and TB (n = 81) were from a single time point per participant. The y axis is scaled based on the maximum proportional abundance for the taxon.
