 Variation in the patterns of TCR gamma diversity in different tissues of ISA Brown chickens. Diversity indices were calculated from sample coverage rarefied abundance data for all unique clones in a tissue using iNEXT. Diversity indices are displayed as Hill number variants and thus represent effective species counts - the number of evenly distributed species required to achieve the same diversity score. A linear model was constructed from the diversity index data using a cube root transform. Error bars are 95% confidence intervals and were extracted directly from the model along with the P values. Significance thresholds were as follows *** p value < 0.001, ** p value < 0.01, * p value < 0.05. Indications of significance are shown only for comparisons which exceeded these thresholds. The horizontal brackets indicate the groups where differences were evident and are supplemented with horizontal lines to indicate any one of multiple groups
