Deskripsi

Here, combing the massive gene-universe of the gut microbiome to identify strain-specific, cross-disease, associations across seven human diseases, the authors introduce the concept of microbiome architecture, defined as the complete set of positive and negative associations between microbial genes and human host disease, highlighting microbiome architectures as potential diagnostic indicators.
