Human Microbiome Research

Sequencing and multi-omics approaches for studying human-associated microbial communities and host–microbiome interactions.

Overview

Human microbiome research uses sequencing and omics technologies to study the microbial communities associated with the human body, including the gut, oral cavity, skin, respiratory tract and other sample types used in research.

Microbiome composition and function can vary across individuals, body sites, lifestyles, diets, treatments, disease states and experimental conditions. Sequencing-based approaches can help researchers characterise these communities, compare sample groups and explore microbial features linked to host biology.

From marker-gene profiling to shotgun metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metabolomics, human microbiome studies can support research into microbial diversity, functional potential, host–microbe interactions, treatment response, nutrition, inflammation and translational health research.

How Omics Supports Human Microbiome Research

Common Research Approaches

Microbial Community Profiling

Characterise bacterial, fungal and broader microbial community composition across human-associated sample types, body sites, cohorts, lifestyle factors and experimental study conditions.

Shotgun Metagenomic Analysis

Investigate microbial species, functional genes, pathways, strain-level features and community functional potential within complex human microbiome research samples and cohort datasets.

Host–Microbe Interaction Studies

Explore relationships between microbial communities, host biology, immune-related features, metabolism, inflammation and research phenotypes across human microbiome study designs.

Longitudinal & Cohort Comparisons

Compare microbiome profiles across individuals, time points, treatment groups, diets, interventions or other study variables to identify patterns and community shifts.
