Fig. 3From: A simplified bacterial community found within the epidermis than at the epidermal surface of atopic dermatitis patients and healthy controlsSignificant differences in ASV abundance across the epidermis was analysed using mixed linear modelling (AD patients and healthy participants visualised together). A heat tree was constructed from the 238 ASVs that were found to significantly vary between tapes, with node size representing the total number of ASVs (q-value > 0.05) and node colour representing the change in ASV abundance (log2) between the swabs (higher relative abundance in swabs represented by blue coloration) and the tape-35 samples (higher relative abundance in tape 35 represented by green coloration)Back to article page
