New Key Publication:Gut microbial co-abundance networks show specificity in inflammatory bowel disease and obesity | Nature Communications
Gut microbiome alterations have been linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and obesity. Here, the authors characterize the metagenomes of four large human cohorts and perform co-abundance network analysis showing that dysbiosis in disease is marked by the altered co-abundance relationships, suggesting that pathway coabundance networks are more heterogeneous than species network. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-17840-y
