Figure 3.

Microbial diversity profiles for infection associated cancers (HNSC, LICH, STAD) among different racial groups with standard error bars for tumor (A) and adjacent normal (B). Average absolute abundance (pink bars), within-sample diversity index as determined by Shannon-Wiener index (green bars), and evenness (y-axis) of species abundance per racial group in each cohort is shown as line graph. Evenness measure is being used as complement to Shannon-Wiener diversity index, where ‘1’ indicates complete evenness, and ‘0’ indicates high diversity.
