In chicken, PTH transcripts were highly abundant in the parathyroid gland, although they were also detected at low abundance in the pituitary, thyroid, bone and cartilage.
Subsequently, a protein abundance index (emPAI) was calculated to detect the polypeptide sequences that were highly abundant among the captured glycoproteins (Tables S1, S2, S3, S4, S5).
Three classical complement components (C2, C3 and C4A), were highly abundant, particularly in the early proteome (2.4% of peptides).
This included three that were highly abundant in both proteomes, (C2, C3 and C4A), all components of the classical complement pathway.
While two Spirochaetaceae OTUs (KT964897, KT964901) were highly abundant, the other Spirochaetales core microbiome members were present at low numbers (Supplementary Table S2).
Notable exceptions to this pattern were OTUs assigned to the phylum Tenericutes (e.g. OTU-2), which were highly abundant in selected biotopes and often absent in other biotopes.
An intriguing finding was that KoRV transcripts and peptides were highly abundant in all samples (3% of transcripts, ~1% of peptides).
Most of the species with highest loadings on PC2 of woody plant composition were highly abundant tree or shrub species (Supplementary Table 4; ref. 48)—such as Schima superba, a dominant tree species in the study region.
Furthermore, this analysis indicated that our surface vSAGs were highly abundant both at the sampling sites as well as throughout many different surface oceanic regions (Fig. 2; Supplementary Figs 11, 13 and 14; Supplementary Table 5 and Supplementary Note 4).
Additionally, a subset of 20 of these taxa that were highly abundant in our dataset was analyzed to examine species-level patterns of fragmentation (Fig. 5b) and DNA damage (Fig. 5d).
Tannins were highly abundant (21.35%) of all the detected phytochemicals.
