The assigned viral taxa in association with IBS and healthy controls. a: Spearman correlation plot of the relative abundance for all the assigned viral order in Healthy, IBS-C, IBS-D, and IBS-M. An asterisk indicates a statistically significant (p values < 0.05) for the pairwise comparison. Positive values (Blue circles) corresponding to the positive correlation and negative values (red circles) refer to inverse correlations. The scale of the correlation presented with the size and shading of the circles where darker shades indicate higher correlation compared with lighter shades. b: Plots of the relative abundance of the viral taxa assigned to the assembled contigs. The data presented based on the viral genus level
