Explainable AI reveals changes in skin microbiome composition linked to phenotypic differences

Abstract Alterations in the human microbiome have been observed in a variety of conditions such as asthma, gingivitis, dermatitis and cancer, and much remains to be learned about the links between the microbiome and human health. The fusion of artificial intelligence with rich microbiome datasets ca...
