Line Plot from Scientific Research

During our observation window of 1.4 years, individuals’ S. epidermidis lineage-level communities turn over faster than those of C. acnes, as assessed by Bray-Curtis dissimilarity, a metric that accounts for abundance. Subjects with >70% assignment of metagenomics at the lineage level at least two time points and across at least 6 months are shown (n =7 subjects for C. acnes, 4 for S. epidermidis; seeFigure S11for analysis of more subjects at higher taxonomic levels andFigure S12for similar results from the reanalysis of Oh et al.5).
