Contrasting bacterial species (metagenomics species (MGS)) and functional modules. A Barcode illustration of contrasted bacterial species after deconfounding for covariates (age, sex, BMI, smoking, and drug treatment). The 50 “tracer” genes are in rows, abundance is indicated by color gradient (white, not detected; red, most abundant); individuals, ordered by status (cases or HC) and by increasing species richness, are in columns. B Boxplots of contrasted bacterial modules (gut metabolic module (GMM) and gut-brain module (GBM)) after deconfounding for the same covariates. P-values associated with Wilcoxon test are displayed. MS = multiple sclerosis patients, HC = healthy controls
