Fig. 4

Microbial variation within the Hominidae family. Heatmap of Hominidae displaying the relative abundance (rescaled by rowsum for each species) and frequency of the 55 most significant species found by multi-level pattern analysis (multipatt in R package indicspecies), which was used to identify species that showed specificity in terms of abundance and prevalence to one of the subgroups Pan, Pongo, German or Guinea-Bissau human subjects, or a combination of those. Figure generated using pheatmap::pheatmap and arranged using Inkscape [26]. Relative abundance is rescaled. ASVs annotations at phylum, family, genus and species level are included, and a letter (a or b) distinguish ASVs annotated to same taxonomic level
