Figure 1 Workflow of the study.
Tumor, adjacent tissue, and fecal samples from 11 patients with colorectal cancer were analyzed. Gene expression profiles were compared with The Cancer Genome Atlas data and Consensus Molecular Subtypes (CMS) templates by principal component analysis, and classified by CMS using CMSclassifier. Differential expression, immune infiltration, and microbiome features were examined across subtypes, with host-microbiota associations further explored to identify CMS4-specific microbial signals. CMS: Consensus Molecular Subtypes.
