Alpha and beta diversity in RA, OA and healthy subjects. (a) Rarefaction analysis of observed OTUs. Using the mean of observed OTUs randomly sampled 150 times at 40000 sequencing depth. Error bars represent standard deviation. (b) Rarefaction analysis of Shannon index. Using the mean of observed OTUs randomly sampled 150 times at 40000 sequencing depth. Error bars represent standard deviation. (c) Weighted UniFrac principle coordinate analysis of RA, OA and healthy subjects. Ellipses are added to better visualize the cluster and separation between RA, OA and healthy control. (d) Weighted UniFrac principle coordinate analysis of RA and OA.
