Fig. 2From: A new approach to describe the taxonomic structure of microbiome and its application to assess the relationship between microbial nichesDistribution and composition of the microbial signatures. A Heatmap of the proportion of the sub-communities from LDA across samples of the doda dataset. Sub-communities are the column, samples are the rows. The proportion of each sub-community is clearly discriminated by the original oral niche. B Microbial signature composition. Only genera (or higher level taxa) that represent at least 5% of the sub-community are plotted here.
