Host genetic effect on microbial compositions of cecum lumen and feces. (A) Comparison of the phylogenetic diversity of microbial composition among full-sib pairs, half-sib pairs and unrelated individuals by Unweighted Unifrac analysis. Full-sib pairs showed a higher similarity of microbial composition than unrelated individuals in both Erhualian (EHL) and Bamaxiang (BMX). The analysis was performed by QIIME (v 1.9). (B) Host genetic kinship calculated from host genome data (x-axis) is correlated with the microbial composition-based kinship (y-axis). In the panels, solid red lines represent a linear regression fit to the data.
