Correlation between BRAFV600E CRC microbial composition and the level of serrated markers. a Pearson’s correlation coefficient computed between the relative abundance of microbial communities’ presence at the genus level in BRAFV600E CRCs vs either the BRAF wt counterpart or control (q < 0.10) and the level of markers distinctive for serrated BRAFV600E CCSCs. Significant correlation coefficients were visualized (P < 0.05). Red and blue, positive and negative correlation, respectively. Color intensity represents the increase/decrease of value
