Multi-Omics Analysis of the Human Microbiome: From Technology to Clinical Applications (Original PDF from Publisher)

Multi-Omics Analysis of the Human Microbiome

The quickly developing field of multi-omics for comprehending the human microbiome is introduced in this book. The technology utilized to produce multi-omics data, such as developments in next-generation sequencing and other high-throughput techniques, is the main topic of the book. The use of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the analysis of multi-omics data is also covered, giving readers a general idea of the potent computational instruments that are propelling advancement in this area. The many bioinformatics databases and tools available for the study of multi-omics data are also examined in this chapter. The book also explores the use of metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metaproteomics, among other multi-omics technologies, in the study of microbial diversity. The application of these methods to the identification and characterization of microbial communities in many settings, ranging from the skin microbiome to the gut and oral microbiome, and beyond, is also covered in the book. The use of multi-omics to the study of microbial consortia, such as mycology and the viral microbiome, is the main focus towards the end. The potential of multi-omics to find genes of biotechnological value is also explored in the book, giving readers an idea of how this technology might advance biotech research. The book ends with a review of multi-omics technology’s clinical uses, including its ability to find illness biomarkers and create tailored medicine strategies. All things considered, this book gives readers a thorough introduction to this fascinating area, emphasizing how multi-omics has the potential to revolutionize our knowledge of the microbial world.
