A conceptual framework for revealing rare bacterial species in the gut microbiome through guided data transformation: Beyond enterotypes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The gut microbiota is increasingly recognized as a rich source of biological data that offers critical information on host health, including information on pathological conditions such as cancer, diabetes and other metabolic disorders. Inferring host health from gut bacterial composition using statistical analytical methods remains a challenge.
