SourceTracker analyses. Chow mothers, Caf mothers and Chow fathers were pooled separately and computed as sources that can contribute to offspring gut microbial communities. A shows offspring consuming same diet as mother; Chow and Caf weanlings, ChowChow and CafCaf offspring at 7 and 14 weeks. B compares offspring of Chow mothers; Chow weanlings, ChowChow and ChowCaf offspring at 7 and 14 weeks. C compares offspring of Caf mothers; Caf weanlings, CafChow and CafCaf offspring at 7 and 14 weeks. Individual rats are indicated on X axis (number indicates mother id, M or F indicates male or female). D Relative contribution of top 20 OTUs of Chow mother, Caf mother and Chow father gut microbiota to offspring gut microbiota
