Microbial association networks

Microbial association networks provide a means to reconstruct the complex relationships existing among the resident microbes in/over the human body (or any ecosystem). In order to obtain the reconstructed association network, the building blocks or individual microbe-microbe associations needs to be ascertained.

Three broad sources exist to achieve this task (Please refer to the links to my published work corresponding to each category):

1. Data driven knowledge :
