Figure 5

The phylogenetic branch defined by Clostridia and its lower taxa shows a significant association with APOE in male mice. The relative abundance of each depicted bacteria was significantly associated with APOE status. The relative abundance of these bacteria decreased in a stepwise fashion from APOE2 to APOE3 to APOE4. P values have been corrected using an FDR approach. (A–D) Are the plots depicted using the dominant model representation, while (E–H) are the plots depicted using the co-dominant model representation. These data are derived from the 3-month male mice with data for all ages provided in Supplementary Tables S5.0–SS7.5.
