Taylor’s law parameter space at the genus level based on the 16S rRNA gene. The large inner-pink circle corresponds to the 68% confidence level region of the reference subjects (adults) in Taylor’s parameter space, while the outer-blue circle delimits the 98% confidence level region. Lines represent standard errors that place the gut microbiome in Taylor’s parameter space for each subject. Parameters were standardized (standard deviation units) to the reference group (A group).
