Heatmaps of the bacterial DNA profiles of placental and technical control samples from studies which sequenced the V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene demonstrating a high degree of overlap between these two sample types

ASVs are listed by study if they had a mean relative abundance greater than 1% across placental samples (green bar). Red asterisks indicate ASVs which had a mean relative abundance greater than 2% across all technical control samples (purple bar) from that study. Regular asterisks indicate ASV sequence genus level classifications which were assigned by NCBI BLAST with the highest percent identity in excess of 95%.
