Plots of the reproducibility between technical replicates of taxon relative abundance (calculated as Pearson correlation coefficients) versus the number of detected sequences, showing that the reproducibility of bar-coded pyrosequencing in detecting individual taxon dynamics increased as a function of the detected number of sequences.
