  1. aMaAsLin models the microbiome as the outcome. Thus, estimate is increase in % relative abundance per point increase on SRS-2 total T-score.
  2. bMean relative abundance of specific amplicon sequence variant given microbiome age.
  3. cEmpty estimate cell indicates that the estimate was not significant (q < 0.25) in the given model.
