Abstract excerpt

Systems biology research on host-associated microbiota focuses on two fundamental questions: which microbes are present and how do they interact with each other, their host, and the broader host environment? Metagenomics provides us with a direct answer to the first part of the question: it unveils the microbial inhabitants, e.g., on our skin, and can provide insight into their functional potential.
