Source: Figure 3a
Description: Figure 3 Compositional differences in baseline gut microbiome. The differentially abundant taxa in the baseline gut microbiome were analyzed with linear discriminate analysis coupled with effect size measurements (LEfSe) projected with a histogram. The length indicates the effect size associated with a taxon. LDA > 3 in the baseline 16S rRNA sequencing cohort were considered statistically different.
