Heatmap and clustering of microbial communities at the genera level across rabbit whole body. The used bacteria contain 54 top abundance genera. This clustering results are generally consistent to the PCoA clustering using all ASVs. The samples were clustered into four groups: large intestinal (Lin), stomach and small intestinal (SSin), uterus (Uter), and skin, mouth and lung (SML) groups. A skin microbial sample was clustered into the large intestinal groups possibly due to fecal contamination of the individual’s skin
