Characterization of Fecal Microbiota across Seven Chinese Ethnic Groups by Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (original) (raw)
Figure 3
Variation of the fecal bacterial composition across the 7 ethnic groups.
A. PCA score plot of the first two principal components with the proportion of variance explained by each component printed next to the axes labels. B. MANOVA score plot using the first 9 principal components. Individuals are classified according to their corresponding ethnic group and lifestyle. The first two canonical variables are plotted. Each individual is represented by one dot and the color label corresponds to the ethnic origin and lifestyle. C. Dendrogram constructed based on the distance metrics of different ethnic groups. ‘*’ and ‘***’ indicate p<0.05, 0.001, respectively.
