Comparison of genomic and transcriptional microbiome analysis in gastric cancer patients and healthy individuals

Figure 2 Group-average agglomerative hierarchical clustering at the phylotype level based on global bacterial profiles. A: Clustering of 139 gastric cancer (GC) tumor, 134 tumors adjacent and 43 control group samples according to individual and general bacterial profiles; B and C: Clustering of GC tumor tissues and the control group at the DNA and RNA levels. The first circle (1) depicts the part of the most abundant bacteria; the second circle (2) represents the status of Helicobacter pylori; the third circle (3) shows the most abundant bacteria at the genus level; fourth and fifth circles (4 and 5) display the samples belonging to a certain study group; clade colors (6) represent the abundance of each patient sample clustered together. H. pylori: Helicobacter pylori.
