Original title: gNOMO2: a comprehensive and modular pipeline for integrated multi-omics analyses of microbiomes
Authors: Muzaffer Arıkan,Thilo Muth
In this article, the authors discuss the development of a bioinformatic pipeline called gNOMO2, which is designed to analyze multi-omics data from microbial communities. They explain that advancements in omics technologies have allowed for a deeper understanding of the structure and function of these communities. However, there is a need for user-friendly and versatile tools to effectively analyze and interpret this data. The gNOMO2 pipeline is an enhanced version of the previously developed gNOMO, and it can handle various combinations of omics data types. It includes new features such as differential abundance analysis, integration of different data types, and visualization tools. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of gNOMO2 by analyzing four different microbiome datasets. They conclude that gNOMO2 allows for comprehensive taxonomic and functional analyses, opening up new possibilities for research in host-associated and free-living microbiomes. The gNOMO2 pipeline is freely available for use.
