1. Transdomain taxonomic profiles from subway shotgun metagenomes.
Transdomain taxonomic profiles from subway shotgun metagenomes. Data represent the relative abundances of the 20 microbial species with the highest mean across 24 metagenomes from train cars and stations. Among colored metadata annotations, train line data (green, orange, or red) are indicated for car surface samples and location data (indoor or outdoor) for touchscreens. P. acnes is not amplified by the 16S primers used in this study but is readily detectable by shotgun sequencing, as are nonbacteria such as Propionibacterium phage.
