The healthy young Chinese cohorts show significant ethnicity-associated structural segregation of gut microbiota. (a) Unweighted UniFrac PCoA of the 314 samples using the full set of OTUs. The percentage of the variation explained by the plotted principal coordinates (PCs) is shown in parentheses. (b) CAP using the first 198 PCs. The squared canonical correlation values (δ2) are shown in parentheses. Permutation tests reveal that the segregation is significant (P=0.0001).
