Methanogen Diversity in Indigenous and Introduced Ruminant Species on the Tibetan Plateau

Figure 2

Rumen methanogen community heat maps and clustering of the most abundant 100 OTUs using regularized log transformed values from DeSeq2. Ward’s minimum variance method was used for hierarchical clustering of the computed distance matrix for samples based on the Jaccard dissimilarity indices of the OTU data in the vegan package. The red bar indicates significant OTUs clustering for host species. See Supplementary Figures  3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 for further details with respect to animal pairwise comparisons.
