Phylogeny, culturing, and metagenomics of the human gut microbiota (original) (raw)

“…(i.e., microbial taxa consistently present in a healthy host; see Glossary [21,22]) and to correlate microbial taxa with specific measures of host performance (e.g., host health [23]). A second approach is to employ metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, or metaproteomics to infer functional properties of the whole microbial community or of focal microbial taxa within it [2,24].…”
