Additional file 4: of Characterization of the upper and lower respiratory tract microbiota in Piedmontese calves

A table reporting the differential abundances of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) found in the nasal swabs (NS = 11) and in the trans-tracheal aspiration (TTA = 17) samples obtained by the DESeq2 analysis. As reported in the DESeq2 support information, the “base mean” column reports the mean of normalized counts for all samples, while the “log2FoldChange” column reports the log fold change calculated for the TTA as compared to the NS samples, with the relative standard error in the adjacent column “lfcSE” (that is log2 fold change standard error). For statistical significance, P values are reported without (P value) and with adjustment (Padj) for multiple testing with the false discovery rate (FDR). (XLS 1114 kb)
