Transition type of each co-abundance group (CAG) from infant to centenarian. Each number indicates a group as shown in Table 1. Box-plots show the interquartile range (IQR) of the sum of z-scores converted from the relative abundance of genera belonging to the same CAG. Open circles and asterisks indicate outliers from 1.5- to 3.0-fold IQR and over 3.0-fold IQR, respectively
