Correlations between the 48 immune mediators and both weighted and unweighted UniFrac distance matrices are shown. The table shows the results for ρ ≥ 0.1. The results were generated from the beta_diversity.py output using the compare_categories.py script (metric BIOENV) of QIIME. Abbreviations: ρ: Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient; DM: distance matrix.
