Identified ecologically informed biomarker OTUs. a Comparison of traditional univariate and ecologically informed biomarker identification. Ecological association information can be used to discard biomarkers indirectly associated with body sites. b Between 92 and 326 positively and negatively associated biomarkers were identified per body site. c Phylum-level distribution of positive and negative biomarkers per body site. d Predictive performance of classifiers for each body site, trained on different sets of OTUs: all OTUs, all biomarkers, only PA-OTUs (positive biomarkers), only NA-OTUs (negative biomarkers), and a random set of OTUs of size equal to the all biomarkers
