From: Alterations of microbiota structure in the larynx relevant to laryngeal carcinoma
Hierarchical dendrogram showing taxonomic assignments from laryngeal samples. The heatmap summarizes the relative abundances of the 25 most abundant genera based on the analysis of laryngeal tissue samples. The legend in the upper-right corner of the figure shows the colors that correspond to the relative abundances of genera in each sample (expressed as a percentage of the total 16S rRNA sequences). The legend in the lower-right corner of the figure indicates the three groups of tissue samples. The tumor tissues and the normal tissues adjacent to tumor sites (NATs) were collected from laryngeal carcinoma patients, and the control tissues were collected from subjects with vocal cord polyps. The clusters of the three groups of samples based on bacterial communities are significant (p < 0.05), and the related p values were generated using a CrossMatch test.
