While the UniFrac analyses we performed suggest independent associations between microbiome composition and both delivery mode and feeding method, the substantial overlap between the communities defined by both factors suggests that there are other important drivers of microbiome community composition that remain to be identified in future analyses.

The group solicits fecal samples from people all around the world in an effort to build a comprehensive library of microbiome communities. (science.howstuffworks.com)
Overall stool microbiome community composition was characterized using generalized UniFrac analysis.30 Controlling for the effects of feeding method, delivery mode was strongly associated with infant gut microbiome composition (P <.001; Q <.001)(Figure 1A). (jamanetwork.com)
