Fig 1 PCA score plot colored for the DGGE at the 1- or 12-month sample. The scores from the 2 primary principal components are plotted against each other, visualizing the main systematic variation in the DGGE data. The first principal component is caused by the infant's age at sampling and explains only 3% of the total variation in the DGGE data, indicating that these data represent very little systematic variation (patterns).
