Elderly subjects have higher diversity than infant subjects and are less variable after storage. a Shannon diversity of infant and elderly samples. b Shannon diversity values after storage across infant and elderly subject samples combined. c Higher variabilty of infant subjects demonstrated by increase in the absolute Spearman distances between samples. (i–iii) elderly samples and (iii–vi) infant samples. (i) and (iv) fresh vs 1 week’s storage; (ii) and (v) fresh vs 2 weeks’ storage; (iii) and (vi) 1 week’s storage vs 2 weeks’ storage
