Abundance profiling of specific gene groups using precomputed gut metagenomes yields novel biological hypotheses.

The gut microbiota is essentially a multifunctional bioreactor within a human being. The exploration of its enormous metabolic potential provides insights into the mechanisms underlying microbial ecology and interactions with the host. The data obtained using "shotgun" metagenomics capture...
