Accumulation curves of 22 habitats. Each line represents the accumulative richness from all subjects. All the reads were included in the analysis to have a full view of the genera revealed by the HMP and other datasets. At the genus level, oral, vaginal, and stool habitats become asymptotically flat at the current sampling depth and sampling efforts. More subjects are needed to reach the saturation for skin and skin-associated habitats.
