  1. Comparisons were conducted using compositional transformed and CLR normalized count matrices, controlled for the random effects of publication and patient, and adjusted for multiple test comparisons using the Benjamini Hochberg correction method. A full list of statistically significant GO terms in COVID-19 vs. Uninfected can be found in Suppl. Table 3.
