Read mapping to the human gut microbiome reference sequence catalogues. We observe significantly higher numbers of raw sequencing reads mapping to both reference catalogs for DNA extracted with the HMP method. For both extraction methods, more reads mapped to the MetaHIT catalog, suggesting that this catalog serves as a more complete representation of the gut microbiome. (*:P < 0.05; **:P < 0.01).
