MetaUmbra infers genome-level presence from metaproteomic peptides using statistical methods, accurately recovering expected genomes in benchmark tests.

The paper investigates how oligosaccharide structure and donor age influence gut microbiome function through ex vivo fermentation, metaproteomics, and metabolomics.

MetaTree provides an interactive web platform for visualizing and comparing hierarchical quantitative data across groups while preserving topology.

The paper uses metaproteomics to show that gut microbiomes have personalized functional responses to different oligosaccharides, highlighting the need for individualized prebiotic strategies.
