1)In the primary research paper “Symbiotic gut microbes modulate human metabolic phenotypes” (2007), Min et al used a “transgenomic” approach to link gut microme and metabolic phenotype variation.
2)Min et al collected fecal and urinary samples from Chinese and American families, and established an model of the microbial-host metabolic connectivities by using the analysing results.
3)The purpose of this paper was to understand how microbes influenced their hosts.
4)This study is helpful in the development of functional metagenomic and provide solutions to personal and public health care.
