Figure 4

Spurious intra-sample variation in the abundance of USiCGs is consistent across samples. The heatmap illustrates the abundance of each of the 76 USiCGs (x-axis) across 134 HMP stool samples (y-axis). The color gradient denotes the abundance after correcting for spurious inter-sample variation (using Inter-MUSiCC), and hence represents the average copy number of the USiCG in the sample.
