This book was released on 2019-02-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-throughput sequencing technologies are widely used to study microbial ecology across species and habitats in order to understand the impacts of microbial communities on host health, metabolism, and the environment. Due to the dynamic nature of microbial communities, longitudinal microbiome analyses play an essential role in these types of investigations. Key questions in microbiome studies aim at identifying specific microbial taxa, enterotypes, genes, or metabolites associated with specific outcomes, as well as potential factors that influence microbial communities. However, the characteristics of microbiome data, such as sparsity and skewedness, combined with the nature of data collection, reflected often as uneven sampling or missing data, make commonly employed statistical approaches to handle repeated measures in longitudinal studies inadequate. Therefore, many researchers have begun to investigate methods that could improve incorporating these features when studying clinical, host, metabolic, or environmental associations with longitudinal microbiome data. In addition to the inferential aspect, it is also becoming apparent that visualization of high dimensional data in a way which is both intelligible and comprehensive is another difficult challenge that microbiome researchers face. Visualization is crucial in both the analysis and understanding of metagenomic data. Researchers must create clear graphic representations that give biological insight without being overly complicated. Thus, this Research Topic seeks to both review and provide novels approaches that are being developed to integrate microbiome data and complex metadata into meaningful mathematical, statistical and computational models. We believe this topic is fundamental to understanding the importance of microbial communities and provides a useful reference for other investigators approaching the field.

Book excerpt: The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) 2017 is an international, multidisciplinary conference for the presentation and discussion of current research in the theory and application of computational methods in problems of biological significance. Presentations are rigorously peer reviewed and are published in an archival proceedings volume. PSB 2017 will be held on January 4 - 8, 2017 in Kohala Coast, Hawaii. Tutorials and workshops will be offered prior to the start of the conference.PSB 2017 will bring together top researchers from the US, the Asian Pacific nations, and around the world to exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of computational biology. It is a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling, and other computational methods, as applied to biological problems, with emphasis on applications in data-rich areas of molecular biology.The PSB has been designed to be responsive to the need for critical mass in sub-disciplines within biocomputing.

Download or read book Microbiome in Human Health and Disease written by Pallaval Veera Bramhachari and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an overview on how the microbiome contributes to human health and disease. The microbiome has also become a burgeoning field of research in medicine, agriculture & environment. The readers will obtain profound knowledge on the connection between intestinal microbiota and immune defense systems, medicine, agriculture & environment. The book may address several researchers, clinicians and scholars working in biomedicine, microbiology and immunology. The application of new technologies has no doubt revolutionized the research initiatives providing new insights into the dynamics of these complex microbial communities and their role in medicine, agriculture & environment shall be more emphasized. Drawing on broad range concepts of disciplines and model systems, this book primarily provides a conceptual framework for understanding these human-microbe, animal-microbe & plant-microbe, interactions while shedding critical light on the scientific challenges that lie ahead. Furthermore this book explains why microbiome research demands a creative and interdisciplinary thinking—the capacity to combine microbiology with human, animal and plant physiology, ecological theory with immunology, and evolutionary perspectives with metabolic science.This book provides an accessible and authoritative guide to the fundamental principles of microbiome science, an exciting and fast-emerging new discipline that is reshaping many aspects of the life sciences. These microbial partners can also drive ecologically important traits, from thermal tolerance to diet in a typical immune system, and have contributed to animal and plant diversification over long evolutionary timescales. Also this book explains why microbiome research presents a more complete picture of the biology of humans and other animals, and how it can deliver novel therapies for human health and new strategies.

Download or read book Machine learning and deep learning applications in pathogenic microbiome research written by Gang Ye and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pathogenic microbiome is the community of microorganisms that live in humans or animals and cause disease. These microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, etc. They usually live in the host's skin, mouth, intestinal tract, genitourinary tract, etc. Normally, there is a state of equilibrium between the host and these microorganisms, but when this equilibrium is disturbed, these microorganisms become the pathogenic microbiome and cause disease. To advance the field of microbiome research, artificial intelligence methods, especially machine learning and deep learning, have recently been used as important tools due to their powerful predictive and informative potential. Classical machine learning algorithms such as linear regression, random forests, support vector machines, etc. perform well on microbiome data. However, as algorithms have been iteratively updated, these models have long been relegated to the basics. Linear regression models are now more often used to interpret these models more intuitively by using the output of other models as input. Deep learning is a branch of machine learning that involves a large number of neural network structures. Deep learning relies on neurons whose role is to transform the input and propagate it forward to the next neuron. Deep learning is currently being used with spectacular success in areas such as image recognition, text processing and automatic translation. As a result, a growing number of researchers are attempting to apply deep learning techniques to biomedical data analysis. Although there are still challenges in practical applications, such as model interpretability, data availability, model evaluation and selection, machine learning and deep learning are very promising tools in pathogenic microbiome research. This Research Topic, therefore, aims to contribute to the latest advances in machine learning, especially deep learning, and to explore new applications of related techniques in pathogenic microbiome research, trying to find relationships between microbiome and human health as well as the environment by studying high-throughput sequencing data of microbes, laying the foundation for further applications for subsequent treatment or forensic identification. We welcome submissions of Original Research, Brief Research Report, Review, Mini-Review, Methods, Perspective and Opinion articles that focus on, but are not limited to, the utilization of machine learning and deep learning to address the following subtopics. 1. Classification and identification of pathogenic microorganisms 2. Virulence prediction of pathogenic microorganisms 3. Antimicrobial resistance prediction of pathogenic microorganisms 4. Population structure and epidemiology of pathogenic microorganisms-related diseases 5. Immunological studies of pathogenic microorganisms 6. Drug target prediction for pathogenic microorganisms-related diseases
