Toward a Better Understanding of Species Interactions through Network Biology

ABSTRACT Within the last decade, there has been an explosion of multi-omics data generated for several microbial systems. At the same time, new methods of analysis have emerged that are based on inferring networks that link features both within and between species based on correlation in abundance....
