Fig. 2

Microbiota generally increases gene coexpression above host-intrinsic capacity. The box plots show the strength of network structure (distributions of the coexpression index: unsigned squared Spearman's rho) for microbiota-independent modules (grouped together: the null distribution of coexpression, not differentially coexpressed (not DC)), each module with microbiota-dependent coexpression within the module, or between pairs of modules. For all microbiota-dependent modules except between modules 7 & 9, gene-gene coexpression is greater in gnotobiotic flies relative to axenic flies and microbiota-independent modules, indicating that the microbiota promotes network structure above the host's intrinsic capacity
