BEEM-Static: Accurate inference of ecological interactions from cross-sectional microbiome data
Fig 4
Analysis of human gut microbiomes with BEEM-Static.
(A) Violin plots showing the significant difference in BEEM-Static biomass estimates for adults and newborn infants. (B) Boxplots showing differences in DNA replication rates (GRiD estimates) for species predicted to decrease and increase in population size, respectively, by BEEM-Static. Each point represents one species in a sample. (C) Scatter plot showing the first two components from a principal component analysis of equilibrium abundances for samples (as predicted by BEEM-Static). (D) Predicted carrying capacities (square root transformed) of species in the two models. Species with divergent carrying capacities (ratio is >2 standard deviations from 1) in the two models are marked with stars.
