What they are

Its species' DNA

A C G T ? Not read clearly in the reference sequence

Genome sizes · 3 Coprococcus species

Shortest we have Mycoplasmoides genitalium 0.6M

⋮ 1,155 shorter than any Coprococcus

Coprococcus eutactus 3.1M

Coprococcus comes 3.4M

Coprococcus catus 3.6M

⋮ 908 longer than any Coprococcus

Longest we have Bradyrhizobium altum 9.8M

Coprococcus genomes run from 3.1M to 3.6M: mid-sized for gut microbes.

One reference genome per species; strains vary.

Their ID genes, lined up: shared stretches form solid stripes

16S gene, V4 region, from one reference sequence per species, aligned so the same positions line up. A blank is a gap: letters other species have and this one lacks. Switch to “Only where they differ” to fade the letters they share. Grey letters weren’t read clearly; they never count as a difference.

Compared within studies that had both

In conditions

Compared with healthy people in the same studies, it’s less common in 20 conditions and more common in none. Only studies that had both are counted.

A difference is an association: it doesn’t mean this microbe causes, prevents or treats any of these.
