Study overview. International transport and storage has no appreciable effect on the microbiome profile of UK volunteer samples. a Study overview (AR = Argentina; CH = Chile; IN = India; VI = Vietnam; EMP = Earth Microbiome Project; PCoA = principle coordinate analysis). b PCoA of Bray-Curtis distances between UK volunteer samples. As expected, the vast majority of microbiome variation is driven by baseline inter-individual differences independently of storage location. c Distribution of Bray-Curtis distances between UK volunteer samples. From top to bottom: between individuals within each country of storage (Argentina, Chile, India, UK, Vietnam); within individual for samples stored in Argentina, Chile, India, or Vietnam for the duration of CRC/non-CRC control sample collection; within individual for samples stored in Argentina, Chile, India, or Vietnam for ~ 48 h; within individual for samples that remained in the UK. Again, differences due to storage are small relative to inter-individual differences
