Elucidating the Beta-Diversity of the Microbiome: from Global Alignment to Local Alignment
Quantitative comparison among microbiomes can link microbial beta-diversity to environmental features, thus enabling prediction of ecosystem properties or dissection of host-microbiome interaction. However, to compute beta-diversity, current methods mainly employ the entire community profiles of ta...

| Sumario: | Quantitative comparison among microbiomes can link microbial beta-diversity to environmental features, thus enabling prediction of ecosystem properties or dissection of host-microbiome interaction. However, to compute beta-diversity, current methods mainly employ the entire community profiles of taxa or functions, which can miss the subtle differences caused by low-abundance community members that may play crucial roles in the properties of interest. |
