Fecal microbial biomarkers combined with multi-target stool DNA test improve diagnostic accuracy for colorectal cancer

Figure 2 Differences in fecal microbiota between colorectal cancer patients and healthy controls. A: The clustering tree with red areas and green areas represents different groups. The red nodes in the branches represent microbial groups that play an important role in the red group, the green nodes represent microbial groups that play an important role in the green group, and the yellow nodes represent microbial groups that do not play an important role in either group. The genus names are shown in the legend on the right; B: Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) score histogram to identify diverse bacterial genus (LDA score ≥ 4, P < 0.05). CRC: Colorectal cancer.
