Exploring the functional composition of the human microbiome using a hand-curated microbial trait database

Exploring the functional composition of the human microbiome using a hand-curated microbial trait database

Background: Even when microbial communities vary wildly in their taxonomic composition, their functional composition is often surprisingly stable. This suggests that a functional perspective could provide much deeper insight into the principles governing microbiome assembly. Much work to date analyz...
