Summary of beta diversity analysis.

A non-parametric ANOSIM (Analysis of Similarity) method was applied to dataset presented in Fig 3D (PBS or adoptive T cell transfer in Rag2-/- or DKO mice, from day 0 to day 13). Among single variables, only the genotype of the T cell recipient mice was significantly different based on a UniFrac beta diversity metric. In multivariate analysis, genotype was the single contributor to differences in beta diversity. Each row is a comparison of microbial diversity done with one or more factors, indicated by the labels. Beta diversity was calculated using Analysis of Similarity (ANOSIM) and significance was considered reached when both a and b were true as follows: a) p-value 0.3.
