FIG 4.

Differentially abundant genera and ASVs whose abundance profiles are associated with features found to influence oral microbiome composition. Genera (A) and ASVs (B) meeting a false discovery rate of q < 0.1 using the Corncob R package, which uses beta-binomial regressions. Each feature’s false discovery rate was corrected separately, and each was tested to control for differences in DNA extraction and differential variability within that feature. Ordinal variables were converted into a ranked scale for testing, and all features except for sex were scaled. The asterisk indicates that sex was treated as a categorical value; therefore, the magnitude is not directly comparable to other log odd ratios.
