Integrating host and microbiome biology using holo-omics
Holo-omics is the use of omics data to study a host and its inherent microbiomes – a biological system known as a “holobiont”.

Integrated multi-omics analyses of microbial communities: a review of the current state and future directions
Integrated multi-omics analyses provide an unprecedented opportunity to better understand the structural and functional properties of microbial communities.
Multi-omics insights into the interplay between gut microbiota and colorectal cancer in the “microworld” age
Sample types, multi-omics techniques, data analysis application and experimental validation in multi-omics studies.
Multi-omic analysis of host-microbial interactions central to the gut-brain axis
The neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine reside in the gastrointestinal tract and impact host physiology and neurological disease states. Emerging technologies for investigating the gut microbiome can be integrated towards solving the molecular mechanisms linking the gut microbiota to neurological functions.
Bacterial endosymbionts of a nitrogen-fixing yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa JGTA-S1 – insights into a yet unknown micro-ecosystem
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa JGTA-S1 is a yeast species capable of fixing nitrogen and improving nitrogen nutrition in rice plants because of its nitrogen-fixing endobacteria, namely Stutzerimonas (Pseudomonas) stutzeri and Bradyrhizobium sp.
Functional response of microbial communities in lab-controlled oil-contaminated marine sediment
Pipeline of our methodology, from data acquisition and pre-processing, to the metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis.
About this collection
This themed issue, guest edited by Sean Gibbons (Institute of Systems Biology), Anna Kuchina (Institute of Systems Biology), Kang Ning (Huazhong University of Science & Technology) and Rohan Williams (National University of Singapore) aims to highlight studies that provide insights into the understanding of microbiomes found within the environment or associated with host organisms.
