Microbiome Intervention Analysis with Transfer Functions and Mirror Statistics [PDF]
Microbiome interventions provide valuable data about microbial ecosystem structure and dynamics. Despite their ubiquity in microbiome research, few rigorous data analysis approaches are available. In this study, we extend transfer function-based intervention analysis to the microbiome setting, drawing from advances in statistical learning and selective

Rough Set Microbiome Characterisation [PDF]
Microbiota profiles measure the structure of microbial communities in a defined environment (known as microbiomes). In the past decade, microbiome research has focused on health applications as a result of which the gut microbiome has been implicated in the development of a broad range of diseases such as obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, and major ...

The Microbiome and Asthma [PDF]
That the subglottic airways are not sterile, as was once believed, but are populated by a distinct "bronchial microbiome," is now accepted. Also accepted is the concept that asthma is associated with differences in the composition of this microbiome.

Background Bifidobacterium longum is a common member of the human gut microbiota and is frequently present at high numbers in the gut microbiota of humans throughout life, thus indicative of a close symbiotic host-microbe relationship.

HT-MMIOW: A Hypothesis Test approach for Microbiome Mediation using Inverse Odds Weighting [PDF]
The human microbiome has an important role in determining health. Mediation analyses quantify the contribution of the microbiome in the causal path between exposure and disease; however, current mediation models cannot fully capture the high dimensional, correlated, and compositional nature of microbiome data and do not typically accommodate ...

The mechanisms through which cells of the host innate immune system distinguish commensal bacteria from pathogens are currently unclear. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) expressed by host cells which ...

The gut microbiome in social anxiety disorder: evidence of altered composition and function
The microbiome-gut-brain axis plays a role in anxiety, the stress response and social development, and is of growing interest in neuropsychiatric conditions.

Variable selection for sparse Dirichlet-multinomial regression with an application to microbiome data analysis [PDF]
With the development of next generation sequencing technology, researchers have now been able to study the microbiome composition using direct sequencing, whose output are bacterial taxa counts for each microbiome sample. One goal of microbiome study is to associate the microbiome composition with environmental covariates.
