- Introduction
- Understanding the (scope of the) impact of microbiome as a complex ecosystem on nature and human health specificaly.
- Components of the microbiome - microbes, fungus, archeae , virome
- Microorganisms characterization methods - history and contemporary
- Sequencing technology
- Classic Sangar sequencing
- Pyrosequencing
- Illumina Miseq
- Future technologies (nanopores, etc)
Omics Data analysis
16S rRNA gene sequencing
- Multidimensional scaling / dimension reduction
Metagenomics
Meta-transcriptomic
Metabolomic
The Human Microbiome project (HMP) and (iHMP)
High-Performance Computing / Environment
Frontier topics in the research of the microbiome (too similar to aim I of introduction?)
- Where do we use these technologies, what do we like to find?
- Leading fields of microbiome research in human health:
- Saving ancesteral microbiome from extinction
- Restoration of gut microbial ecology by fecal transplantation
- Age, Obesity
- Autoimmune diseases (like T1D) and food allergies
- Pregnanncy \ Embryonic development
The future of the microbiome research
