Beta diversity comparisons of the faecal IgA-negative and IgA-positive microbiota in postmenopausal breast cancer cases vs matched control women. (A) Distributions of observed (Y-axes) and expected (X-axes) –log₁₀ P-values comparing postmenopausal breast cancer cases to matched control women on detection of IgA-coated and IgA-noncoated species-level taxa. (B) Distributions of observed (Y-axes) and expected (X-axes) –log₁₀ P-values comparing postmenopausal breast cancer cases to matched control women on detection of IgA-coated and IgA-noncoated microbial imputed metagenomics functional pathways. IgA=immunoglobulin A.
