What’s metagenomics?
Total collection of microorganisms
within a community
Also microbial community or microbiota
Total genomic potential of
a microbial community
Study of uncultured microorganisms
from the environment, which can include
humans or other living hosts
Total biomolecular repertoire
of a microbial community

Valm et al, PNAS 2011
What to do with your metagenome?
Reservoir of
gene and protein
functional
information
Who’s there?
What are they doing?
Comprehensive
snapshot of
microbial ecology
and evolution
Who’s there varies: your microbiota is
plastic and personalized.
What they’re doing is adapting to
their environment:
you, your body, and your environment.
Public health tool
monitoring
population health
and interactions
Who’s
Diagnostic
or there and what
prognostic
differ during disease and
biomarker for
host disease
they do
treatment.

Body Mass Index
Vaginal pH (posterior fornix)
Vaginal pH, community metabolism, and community
composition represent a strong, direct link between
phenotype and function in these data.

• In this cohort, main effects are a
superset of previous findings
• Eggerthella in UC, weaker eff. than CD
Faecalibacterium
Roseburia
Ruminococcus
But what about IBD?
Willing 2010
Frank 2007, Willing 2010
• Ruminococcus down
Willing 2010, Joossens 2011
• Also correctly classify environment
• Proteobacteria up (immunosup.)
Eggerthella
• Roseburia (Lachnospiraceae) down
Ileal involvement
Frank 2007, Willing 2010
• Faecalibacterium down (ileal)
Willing 2010, Frank 2011, Joossens 2011
• And hey, what about…
• Diet? Sample handling? Assay?

A model for
host genetics and the microbiome
Many genes exert indirect
control over many bugs due
to polygenic immunity and
disease phenotypes.
A few genes exert
strong control over
a few bugs.
A few bugs and many
functions are strong
proximal indicators or
controllers of disease.
Many genes exert
strong distal control
over many bugs due to
founder effects.
Environment exerts
strong proximal control
over many bugs.

• Heparan sulfate degradation
missing due to the absence of
heparanase, a eukaryotic enzyme
• Other pathways not bottlenecked
by individual genes
• HUMAnN links microbiome-wide
pathway reconstructions →
site-specific pathways →
individual gene families

Niche specialization in human
microbiome function
← Pathway abundance→
Metabolic modules in the
KEGG functional catalog
enriched at one or more
body habitats
← ~700 HMP communities→
• 16 (of 251) modules strongly “core” at 90%+ coverage in 90%+ individuals at 7 body sites
• 24 modules at 33%+ coverage
• 71 modules (28%) weakly “core” at 33%+ coverage in 66%+ individuals at 6+ body sites
• Contrast zero phylotypes or OTUs meeting this threshold!
• Only 24 modules (<10%) differentially covered by body site
• Compare with 168 modules (>66%) differentially abundant by body site

Patterns of variation in human
microbiome function by niche
27
Patterns of variation in human
microbiome function by niche
• Three main axes of variation
• Eukaryotic exterior
• Low-diversity vaginal
• Gut metabolism
• Oral vs. tooth hard surface
• Only broad patterns:
every human-associated habitat
is functionally distinct!
