Fig. 4

Genes for microbial sulfur metabolism are abundant and significantly associated with colorectal cancer. Dot plots of selected genes related to microbial cysteine and methionine metabolism (A) and taurine and sulfur metabolism (B) across three disease states: healthy, adenoma, and carcinoma. The size of each dot indicates the proportion of participants in each disease state with at least one copy of the indicated gene in their bacterial MAGs and the color of each dot indicates the mean number of MAGs with that gene in the subset of participants that have at least one copy of the gene. Genes that have a non-random distribution across disease status as analyzed by chi-squared analysis are indicated by asterisks. p-value corrections were done using the Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) Procedure
