Fig. 3: Factors associated with the alpha diversity of the neonatal microbiotas.
From: The association of maternal factors with the neonatal microbiota and health
The 164 maternal-neonatal dyads were classified into groups A and B according to the clustering of the Gower’s or Minkowski’s distance (see Methods) of maternal variables in each maternal factor module. The results of modules 0, 5, 10, and 6 are shown in (a–d). e The Shannon index of the NB microbiota on day 1 or 2 associated with the maternal factor module 0. f The Shannon index of the NB microbiota on day 1 or 2 associated with the maternal factor module 5. g The number of taxa of the NB microbiota on day 1 or 2 associated with the maternal factor module 10. h The t-SNE2 of the NB microbiota on day 1 or 2 associated with the maternal factor module 5. i The difference in the composition of the NB microbiota on day 1 or 2 between the t-SNE2 value at high and low levels. j The Shannon index of the NR microbiota on day 1 or 2 associated with the maternal factor module 6. Lines in the boxplots represent maximum, 75% quantile, median, 25 quantile, and minimum values from top to bottom. The two-sided Mann–Whitney U test was used to test the difference between alpha diversities of two microbiota groups with P values adjusted by the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure.
