Table 2 Percentage of species level OTUs within a phylum that have a greater ICC value in the cohabitating MZ twins relative to the non-cohabitating twins. Phylum classification was based on the consensus taxonomic classification of the OTU

From: Cohabitation is associated with a greater resemblance in gut microbiota which can impact cardiometabolic and inflammatory risk
