Deciphering Functional Redundancy in the Human Microbiome

2017-08-14

Abstract excerpt

Although the taxonomic composition of the human microbiome varies tremendously across individuals, its gene composition or functional capacity is highly conserved 1-5 ---implying an ecological property known as functional redundancy . Such functional redundancy is thought to underlie the stability and resilience of the human microbiome 6,7 , but its origin is elusive. Here, we investigate the basis for function...
