Heatmaps of rarefied sequencing data. The dataset is split into four panels according to the infant birth category (premature or term delivery) and the timepoint at which it was taken (6 weeks or 2 years). The distribution of sequencing reads for each sample is represented by a single column in one of the four panels, with colours indicating the percentage of reads assigned to each of the OTUs shown on the y axis. Within each panel, samples are organised along with x axis by the infant pair number. Comparing columns of data vertically therefore contrasts a premature and term infant pair of samples at a single timepoint, whilst comparison of columns of data horizontally between each panel allows assessment of the changes in an infant’s faecal microbiota from 6 weeks to 2 years of age
