Measuring and interpreting microbiome Carolina Medina-Gomez Department of Internal Medicine, ErasmusMC 45th Congress of the European Calcified Tissue Society May 27th, 2018
Outline of the Presentation • Brief Introduction • Phylogenetic resolution • Analysis of grouped data • Reverse causal reasoning • The right transformation
Humans as Holobionts • Gut microbiota influences the immune system, energy biogenesis, biosynthesis of vitamins and hormones, and our metabolism. Diseases as diabetes, Cohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis are associated with gut microbiome. • The gut microbiomeprovidesanattractive target fortherapeuticintervention.

OTU vs. Taxonomy Classification Analysis • Several OTUs can be assigned to the same genus • Depending on my research question I can decide type of analysis (also consider FDR adj). (What does it mean ChristensenellaceaeR7group?) • We aggregated the data at different taxonomy classifications (excluding OTUs with < 0.8 Score at each different level). • OUT_315 wont be included in the ChristensenellaceaeR7group Genus aggregation , nor in the Christensenellaceae Family aggregation.

Relative Abundances– Arcsine transformation Not perfectly normal but much better ArcSin transformation is default to MaAslin but you have an option to change this default transformation
Relative Abundances– Arcsine transformation Zero inflated models!

Takehome messages! • As no “gold standard” methods are still available yet for the analysis of microbiome, there is a lot of flexibility in the methods to be used. However, you need to be conscious of the pros/contras of this decision. • New methodologies will surely emerge as, in other fields, the advances to acquire more and better data are going faster than the development of analysis algorithms. Therefore, in such an emergent field you need to update yourself constantly to keep in the cutting-edge loop
