Histogram from Scientific Research

Across all lineages and recipients, the minimum number of transmitted genotypes required to explain the diversity of lineages is usually greater than 1 (n =15 for C. acnes, 17 for S. epidermidis, median 2 for both species, vertical bars), suggesting the migration of multiple cells at one or multiple time points. Lineages shared by three or more individuals are counted once for each recipient.p values represent the result of two-tailed rank-sum tests and are all significant at a false discovery rate of 5% using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure.
