BugBase Predicts Organism Level Microbiome Phenotypes

Tonya Ward, Jake Larson, Jeremy Meulemans, Ben Hillmann, Joshua K. Lynch, Dimitrios N. Sidiropoulos, John R. Spear, Greg Caporaso, Ran Blekhman, Rob D. Knight, Ryan C. Fink, Dan Knights

BugBase assigns pathway coverage and traits (Gram stain, oxygen tolerance, pathogenicity) to individual taxa in 16S or shotgun microbiome data, detecting some functional differences bag-of-genes profiles miss.
