Description: Linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis of fecal bacterial of colorectal cancer patients and HCs was used to represent which taxa were increased in CRC patients and which were enriched in healthy controls. Taxa enriched in HCs are indicated with a negative LDA score and taxa enriched in the CRC group are indicated with a positive LDA score.
Abundance in Group 1: increased abundance in CRC

Signature 2
Source: Figure 4c
Description: Linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis of fecal bacterial of colorectal cancer patients and HCs was used to represent which taxa were increased in CRC patients and which were enriched in healthy controls. Taxa enriched in HCs are indicated with a negative LDA score and taxa enriched in the CRC group are indicated with a positive LDA score.
Abundance in Group 1: decreased abundance in CRC
