Microbiota analysis of the colorectal cancer mucosa a Chao richness paired comparison between tumour and paired normal mucosa (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test p = 0.41). b Shannon diversity paired comparison between tumour and paired normal mucosa (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test p = 0.99). c Hierarchical clustering of microbiota. Y-axis labels are species or higher taxonomic rank if species data is not known; x-axis labels show the order. d Beta diversity displayed as a nonmetric dimensional scaling (NMDS) plot of weighted UniFrac distances for normal mucosa (blue) and tumour (red). Ellipses drawn to indicate 95% confidence intervals. R2 = 0.027; p = 0.014 (adonis PERMANOVA). e Paired comparison between tumour and tumour-paired normal samples for each identified microbiota cluster
