Figure 3

Evaluation of taxa trend in the gut microbiota of HT and CpT samples. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between each case-control for all five datasets (P-value <0.05). The heatmap shows the taxonomic trend of each 16S rRNA gene-based metagenomic dataset. Names of identified bacterial taxa are listed on the left, while names of sample groups used are listed at the top. Healthy Marginal Tissue (HMT); Colonic Mucosa with Polyps(CMP); ColoRectal Cancer (CRC); all Healthy Tissue (HT) and CRC-polyps Tissue (CpT). The green color represents high abundance in healthy cases, red color represents high abundance in disease cases and black color represents the absence of the bacterial taxa. Columns show the studies analyzed and rows indicate the bacterial taxonomy at genus level.
