Functional predictions from inference and observation in sequence-based inflammatory bowel disease research

Folker Meyer et al. Genome Biol. 2012.

Abstract

Meta-omics approaches such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteogenomics have the potential to improve our understanding of how the human microbiome affects digestive health and disease.
