16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing of reference and clinical samples and investigation of the temperature stability of microbiome profiles

Table 2 Testing of the variation of the mock bacterial community with storage temperatures

P values are used to test pairwise differences between communities. They correspond to the null hypothesis of equal parameters of the Dirichlet multinomial distribution models in the communities. P values are computed using the R package HMP[39]. P values less than the threshold 0.05 indicate significant differences between communities.
