Extended Data Fig. 6: Distribution of CRISPR-Cas systems, ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) across different microbial phylogeny and ecosystems.
From: Global marine microbial diversity and its potential in bioprospecting
a, The predicted OGT of genomes with or without Cas operon. Only lineages with more than 50 genomes are presented. The star symbol indicated significance level between the two groups. ns represented P > 0.05, * represented 0.01 < P ≤ 0.05, ** represented P ≤ 0.01 (Wilcoxon test, n » 30). b, The uneven distribution patterns of defense systems. The ARG and MGE occurrence frequencies of the GOMC dataset are shown on the left side of the heatmap. c, The trend indicates a decrease in the upper limit number of MGEs with increased number of Cas operons.
