Comparison of the major GH families identified in large metagenomes of herbivores.

Data are presented using the format described in reference [5]. GHs were grouped based on their major activity in plant fiber degradation.NR, not reported.aPope et al, 2010 [9] (sequencing of activity-screened fosmids using 454 GS FLX).bBrulc, et al, 2009 [4]. The number of fiber-adherent samples was the average of three fiber adherent samples (shotgun metagenomic sequencing using 454 GS20).cHess et al, 2011 [3] (shotgun metagenomic sequencing using Illumina GAII and HiSeq2000).dPope et al, 2012 [5] (shotgun metagenomic sequencing and sequencing of activity-screened BAC clones using 454 GS FLX Titanium).eDai et al, 2012 [7] (sequencing of activity-screened BAC clones using 454 GS FLX Titanium).*Percentage of each group relative to the total number of GH’s identified in each metagenomic dataset.#Numbers inside and outside parentheses are those retrieved from the BAC library and shotgun sequencing, respectively. The data inside the parentheses showed the dereplicated GHs.
