Fig 1. Gut microbiota composition and distinguishability by ethnicity, sex, age, and BMI.

Fig 1

(A) The average relative abundance of dominant microbial families for each ethnicity. (B–E) Principle coordinates analysis plots of microbiota Bray–Curtis beta diversity and ANOSIM distinguishability for: (B) Ethnicity, (C) Sex, (D) Age, (E) BMI. In B–E, each point represents the microbiota of a single sample, and colors reflect metadata for that sample. Caucasian points are reduced in size to allow clearer visualization, and p-values are not corrected across factors that have different underlying population distributions.
