Additional File 1:

Table1SRed. Two lists (one for the Red Sample and one for the Black Sample) describing all the similarities found in the data. The table has the following columns: "Classification I" and "Classification II" are hierarchical classifications of the subsystems. "Subsystem" is the name of the subsystem [25]. "Functional Role" is the role of the protein in the subsystem to which the sequence from the Soudan Mine was similar. "Occurrence" is the number of times that a functional role is found in each sample. The text files have the data as tab separated items, and the file ending .xls has the same data in Microsoft Excel format.

Table2S. The occurrence of subsystems in either the Red Sample or the Black Sample were compared to the subsystems found in the following metagenomes: AMD [7], Farm [6], Whale (all three whale falls combined)[6], the SEED non-redundant database [11], and the Sargasso Sea [10]. For each pair wise comparison the subsystems that are more likely to be found (P > 0.95) in either of the samples are shown, along with the sample that the subsystem is more likely to be found in. Subsystem names and classification are as found at [25]. The text file has the data as tab separated items, and the file ending .xls has the same data in Microsoft Excel format.
