- Research Article | Novel Systems Biology TechniquesDefining and Evaluating Microbial Contributions to Metabolite Variation in Microbiome-Metabolome Association Studies
Identifying the key microbial taxa responsible for metabolic differences between microbiomes is an important step toward understanding and manipulating microbiome metabolism. To achieve this goal, researchers commonly conduct microbiome-metabolome association studies, comprehensively measuring both the composition of species and the concentration of metabolites across a set of microbial community samples and then testing for...
- Special Issue Perspective | Novel Systems Biology TechniquesStrengthening Insights in Microbial Ecological Networks from Theory to Applications
Networks encode the interactions between the components in complex systems and play an essential role in understanding complex systems. Microbial ecological networks provide a system-level insight for comprehensively understanding complex microbial interactions, which play important roles in microbial community assembly.
