Fig. 1From: Evolution of gut microbiota composition from birth to 24 weeks in the INFANTMET CohortBirth mode and gestation age both significantly affect the composition of the infant gut microbiota to 24 weeks of age. Principal coordinates analysis (PCoAs) on Spearman distance matrices of samples at each of four time points (weeks 1, 4, 8 and 24) revealed significant differences between the groups. Significance was calculated using permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PerMANOVA, Additional file 1: Table S3). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001Back to article page
