A Scale-Free, Fully Connected Global Transition Network Underlies Known Microbiome Diversity

ABSTRACT Microbiomes are inherently linked by their structural similarity, yet the global features of such similarity are not clear. Here, we propose as a solution a search-based microbiome transition network. By traversing a composition-similarity-based network of 177,022 microbiomes, we show that...
