I’m very excited to share our latest paper on infer microbe-metabolite relationships.

with @LF_NOTHIAS @Quinn_Labs @michellebadri @marcwvg @yoshikivb @mingxunwang @Pdorrestein1 @KnightLabNews and many others (thread 👇) @LF_NOTHIAS @Quinn_Labs @michellebadri @marcwvg @yoshikivb @mingxunwang @Pdorrestein1 @KnightLabNews 1/ Nailing down microbe-metabolite interactions from sequencing / MS data is key for understanding microbial ecosystem structure. Unfortunately, the vast majority statistical techniques available to do this perform WORSE than random, because of the nature of compositional data.
