The interactive networks of gut microbiota
The interactive networks of gut microbiota in the infant (A), young-adult (B), middle-aged (C), and elderly (D) groups, as well as in all fecal samples (E), are constructed from the SparCC results, and visualized using Cytoscape. Genera with average abundance > 0.1%, correlation |r| > 0.2, and P < 0.05 are included in the networks. Node color denotes the phylum of a certain genus. Node size represents the weighted node connectivity. Edge color and thickness represent correlation r. SparCC, sparse compositional correlation.
