Ninth generation CD1 females maintain consistent GM profile after shipping to new institution. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of representative fecal samples from 6 week-old, ninth generation CD1 females (a) at arrival at new institution and (b) 14 days post shipping (n = 24 pre-shipment samples collected at MU; n = 12 post shipment samples collected at UCD and UNC on day 0 and day 14 post shipment). Figure legend of GM profile and institution located below PCoA; MU = University of Missouri, UCD = University of California Davis, and UNC = University of North Carolina. Statistical significance determined using two-way PERMANOVA (p ≤ 0.05 statistically significant).
