Hierarchical structure of microbial communities
This is project 6 of the program digitalisation of the life sciencesExterner Link.
Visualization of subset relationships in microbial data
Zu sehen ist die hierarchische Struktur der einzelnen Messpunkte.
Grafik: Beatrice RuthBased on the theory of chemical organizations and formal concept analysis, new methods for representing the hierarchical structure of microbial data are developed and applied.
In addition to the taxa composition, environmental factors are also taken into account in the data. The taxa resolution can be individually adjusted and is designed for the selection of different taxa groups.
The tool is now available on https://git.uni-jena.de/ne78xoy/focusedfcaExterner Link.
Interaction prediction between taxa from microbial data
Based on the hierarchical structure, new methods can be developed through the application of chemical organization theory, which allow an interaction prediction regarding the taxa in microbial communities.
