Metaproteomics suffers from the issues of dimensionality and sparsity. Data reduction
methods can maximally identify the relevant subset of significant differential features and …

Together with various hosts and environments, ubiquitous microbes interact closely with
each other forming an intertwined system or community. Of interest, shifts of the relationships …

In recent years, many different methods that allow for the analysis of the biodiversity and
structure of the community of microorganisms inhabiting the soil environment have emerged …

Microbial communities present in diverse environments from deep seas to human body
niches play significant roles in the complex ecosystem and human health. Characterizing …
