Fig. 3From: Latitude in sample handling and storage for infant faecal microbiota studies: the elephant in the room?Alpha diversity measures for samples included in the weight variation experiment; four samples (one from each of infants 1–4) were split into aliquots of varying weights prior to DNA extraction and sequencing (which was performed on a 454 FLX). Points are coloured by infant. No significant associations between reduced weight and changes in alpha diversity were foundBack to article page
