Piphillin: Improved Prediction of Metagenomic Content by Direct Inference from Human Microbiomes

Functional analysis of a clinical microbiome facilitates the elucidation of mechanisms by which microbiome perturbation can cause a phenotypic change in the patient. The direct approach for the analysis of the functional capacity of the microbiome is via shotgun metagenomics. An inexpensive method t...
