From: Metagenomics reveals sediment microbial community response to Deepwater Horizon oil spill
Metagenomic data annotated by comparing raw reads with a database of genes involved in hydrocarbon degradation. (a) The heatmap shows abundance of genes involved in degradation of a particular hydrocarbon. (b) The dominant hydrocarbon degradation pathway is shown, along with (c) A statistical comparison of these gene abundances in samples that exceeded the EPA-BM and those that did not. *Genes that were statistically significantly different and more abundant in samples that exceeded EPA-BM ; **Those that were more abundant in the nonexceed samples.
