From: The impact of sequence database choice on metaproteomic results in gut microbiota studies
Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in human and mouse subjects measured using different databases. Results obtained with human (N = 3, left) and mouse (N = 3, right) samples, with each dot representing a single sample. DBs were made up of reads (dark blue, R-A) or contigs (red, C-A) from gut metagenomes of all subjects analyzed for each host species, or all bacterial sequences deposited in UniProt (turquoise, UP-B). The annotation tools used were MEGAN (MEG) and Unipept (Up). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 (paired t test)
