From: The gut microbiome changes in wild type and IL-18 knockout mice after 9.0 Gy total body irradiation
The alpha and beta diversity of the pure IL-18 knockout and wild type mice faecal bacterial microbiome. Alpha-diversity, measured by observed species and Shannon Diversity Index is plotted for IL-18 knockout and wild type mice at different time points after radiation exposure. The black dot inside the box represents the median, while the whiskers represent the lowest and highest values within the 1.5 interquartile range (IQR). Outlines as well as individual sample values are shown as dots. (b) beta diversity showing the complete separation of the pure IL-18 knockout and wild type mice. Each dot represents one animal at one time point
