Metatranscriptomic analyses reveal minimal differences between collection methods. (A) Metatranscriptomics data were assessed for differences in overall pathways between biopsy sample and brush groups, demonstrating no difference as determined by ANOVA with Kruskal-Wallis post hoc test. (B and C) The top 10 most abundant transcriptional pathways (B) were identified and compared between the two groups with a statistical difference in K02703 and K02961 (*, P < 0.05), as determined by Kruskal-Wallis post hoc test and demonstrated in C comparing the two different sample collection methods of biopsy specimen versus cytology brush.
