Variability of gut microbiome within and between stool samples. a Principal coordinate (PCo) plots for the first three PCos of Bray–Curtis distances. Percent variability explained by each PCo is in parentheses. Each point represents a specimen, with color reflecting participant (characteristics in Supplementary Table 1) and shape representing stool sample order. b Variance in diversity (Shannon, inverse Simpson) and phylum relative abundance (Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria) attributable to participant, sample, and position on stool (Shannon, inverse Simpson, Bacteroidetes). Remaining variability (white space) is unexplained. Exact values can be found in Supplementary Table 30
