Data are associations between biomarkers and microbiota. Data are reported for association with p ≤ 0.10. Associations were tested between biomarker levels and all taxonomic units using a Kendall Tau (τ) test of correlation. All statistical analyses were performed using R 3.2.3 statistical software. The false-discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted p-values (q-values) were calculated using the Benjamini–Hochberg FDR correction. Abbreviations: q-value, FDR-adjusted p-value; τ, correlation coefficient; others as in Table 1.
