Hierarchical clustering of the bacterial fingerprints of fecal samples collected from 14 subjects during four different diets (M diet, square; RS diet, circle; NSP diet, triangle; WL diet, diamond). The subject-wise clustering is highlighted with boxes. Vertical line is drawn at Pearson correlation of 0.95, which represents a reference value for the temporal stability of the microbiota in subjects without dietary intervention (for details, see Discussion section).
