ANOSIM R statistic (in italics below the diagonal) and p-values (above the diagonal) for all possible pairwise combinations of the eight human blood samples. Statistically different values highlighted in bold italic.

This table shows the pairwise ANOSIM R-statistics (in italics below the diagonal) and p-values between all the samples. Note that all the male1 samples are statistically indistinguishable from each other. This is particularly apparent between the two aggregated male samples taken a week apart, despite displaying a relative lack of sequence overlap at the nucleotide level. All the male 1 samples are statistically distinguishable (p<0.05) from the second male sample and the female sample, indicating that the physico-chemical properties of these samples from different individuals are distinct.
