Metaproteomics: A strategy to study the taxonomy and functionality of the gut microbiota

The gut microbiota is the largest and most complex microbial community in the human body. Host-gut microbiota interactions have significant implications on health and disease. The development of genome-sequencing technologies, especially the application of next-generation sequencing (NGS), has accelerated the study of the gut microbiota. Most gut microbiota studies rely on 16S rRNA sequencing, metagenomics, and metatranscriptomics, but...
