Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An important factor in promoting the research of human microbiome including gut microbiome is to estimate what interaction between bacteria are needed and how bacterial community are built. We have developed the fundamental method that is necessary for that purpose. We infer the interaction points on the metabolic pathways which are likely to be responsible for the interaction among bacteria and also developed a method to estimate the bacterial interaction network based on these interaction points. This makes it possible to analyze and visualize the relationships between bacteria in complex microbiome systems.
