MICOM: metagenome-scale modeling to infer metabolic interactions in the gut microbiota

2018-07-04

Abstract excerpt

Compositional changes in the gut microbiota have been associated with a variety of medical conditions such as obesity, Crohn’s disease and diabetes. However, connecting microbial community composition to ecosystem function remains a challenge. Here, we introduce MICOM – a customizable metabolic model of the human gut microbiome. By using a heuristic optimization approach based on L2 regularization we were able to...
