Fig. 1From: Multi-omic interactions in the gut of children at the onset of islet autoimmunityMicrobial diversity and abundance are associated with age. The number of OTUs observed and Shannon index related to A age and B case and control status and timepoint. The thick blue curve represents all samples, the grey shaded are represents the 95% confidence interval, and the thinner curves represent the sample group. The first two principal coordinates of the Bray-Curtis distance are shown with each sample colored according to C age, D the proportion of counts attributed to Bacteroidetes, E the proportion of counts attributed to Firmicutes and F case group. Four samples (aged < 1 year of age) with a distinct microbiota are labeled in C. Case pre: IAb+ children prior to seroconversion, case post: IAb+ children after seroconversion, control pre: IAb− controls at first timepoint, control post: IAb− at second timepointBack to article page
