Figure 3

Conservation of CRISPR spacer content by time of day sampled. Each panel demonstrates the relative conservation of spacers (±standard deviation) within the morning time points for each subject (M vs. M), comparisons of the morning time points with noon time points (M vs. N), and comparisons of the morning time points with the evening time points (M vs E) for subject #1 (magenta), subject #2 [22], subject #3 (red), and subject #4 (cyan). Panels A and B represent salivary SGII and SGI CRISPR spacers, respectively. Panels C and D represent skin-derived SGII and SGI CRISPR spacers, respectively. The '*' represents subjects in which the relative conservation of spacers for the morning time points is significantly (p ≤ 0.05) greater than for comparisons of morning and noon/evening time points.
