Fig. 1. Beta and alpha diversity of microbiome compared according to diagnosis with ASD.

Fig. 1

a PCoA plot of all samples. Control samples are in blue while ASD samples are in red. b Beta Diversity Analysis as differences from each sample to control samples. There is a significant difference in beta diversity between ASD and control groups (PERMANOVA p = 0.002). Whisker plots representing quartiles. c Alpha-Diversity analysis using Faith’s PD. Alpha Diversity is increased in ASD group (PERMANOVA p = 0.005) Whisker box plots. Center line is mean. Boxes represent quartiles, and whiskers maximum and minimum. Dots outside of whiskers are outliers. **=p < 0.01 PERMANOVA.
