Figure 3. Biodiversity metrics plotted as a function of sequence depth.

Figure 3

Separate salivary gland (SG) and peripheral blood (PB) data sets, each containing the complete TCRα and TCRβ CDR3 sequences, were evaluated using alpha biodiversity statistics. Under all metrics, there was a significant difference in diversity between the PB and SG samples at increasing depth. P values are from nonparametric, 2-tailed, 2-sample t tests. Error bars are SD.
