Figure 6.1: Hypothesis generation us<strong>in</strong>g network representations of Spearman rank correlations<br />
between Doma<strong>in</strong> of Unknown Function (DUF) abundances across GOS metagenomes. Vertices<br />
are labelled with the correspond<strong>in</strong>g DUF number (i.e. “59” represents DUF59). Network I<br />
<strong>in</strong>cludes DUFs with a variety of functions, possibly <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> a response to nutrient <strong>in</strong>put<br />
