Differences in microbial composition between urban and rural Chinese subjects. a-f PCoA plot and comparison of Shannon diversity index for each taxonomic level, based on sequencing the 16S rRNA gene. Points are colored by urban/rural status and shaped by timepoint (each subject gave two samples, separated by 2 weeks). Key is in the top right. Numbers in parentheses on the PCoA axes indicate the percent variation explained by that axis. g P values comparing the position on the first PCoA axis of urban and rural samples. The gray region indicates significant P values (p < 0.05). h ROC curve using leave-one-out predictions of urban or rural status using a random forest classifier. The area under the curve (AUC) is indicated in the legend
