Incorporating 16S Gene Copy Number Information Improves Estimates of Microbial Diversity and Abundance

Figure 9

Hierarchical clustering (complete linkage) of communities from the microbiome of a human (subject F1-3 in [13]) based on phylogenetic similarity (weighted UniFrac distance metric) for observed relative gene abundances g_i (A) and for estimated organismal relative abundances (B).

Samples are shaded based on human microbiome habitat characteristics (black = gut/mouth, gray = moist skin sites, white = dry skin sites).
