ME/CFS bacteria shifts for BiomeSight tests

This post is intended for researchers by pointing to bacteria whose genetics are likely significant for ME/CFS. The microbiome specific raw data is below. Preliminary z-scores indicated that they are significant (Pr < 0.01) and no filtering has occurred for False Detection Rate. Users are advised to perform their own statistics. For Ombre/Thryve bacteria see this post.

Note: These results are lab-specific, using the data from BiomeSight.

The raw data is available at: http://citizenscience.microbiomeprescription.com/

NOTE: The sample size is very low (less than 1/3 of the size of current Long COVID Study)
