What they are
A C G T Its species' DNA
Shortest we have Mycoplasmoides genitalium 0.6M
⋮ 1,280 shorter than any Merdimonas
Merdimonas faecis 3.3M
⋮ 1,071 longer than any Merdimonas
Longest we have Bradyrhizobium altum 9.8M
Merdimonas’s one genome we have is 3.3M: mid-sized for gut microbes.
One reference genome per species; strains vary.
Their ID genes, lined up: shared stretches form solid stripes
Fewer than two of its species have a reference ID-gene sequence in NCBI yet, so there's nothing to line up Data sources

What its species can do
A species counts when most of its strains can. Not measured in anyone's gut.

Compared within datasets that had both
In conditions
Compared with healthy people in the same datasets, it’s less common in none and more common in 1 condition. Only datasets that had both are counted.
A difference is an association: it doesn’t mean this microbe causes, prevents or treats any of these.
