The island biology of the host microbiome

Trends in Microbiology
Microbiomes perform critical functions for their hosts, and understanding microbiome variation is important for both basic and applied science. However, host traits alone cannot explain the entirety of microbiome variation, because, alongside host traits, microbiomes are shaped by multiple ecological processes.

A tuberculosis ontology for host systems biology

Tuberculosis, 2015
A major hurdle facing tuberculosis (TB) investigators who want to utilize a rapidly growing body of data from both systems biology approaches and omics technologies is the lack of a standard vocabulary for data annotation and reporting. Lacking a means to readily compare samples from different research groups, a significant quantity of potentially ...
