CBEA provides a new method for taxonomic enrichment analysis in microbiome data by using a log-ratio formulation to generate sample-specific enrichment scores.

The paper evaluates trait-based taxonomic enrichment methods for human microbiome data, finding they improve disease prediction and interpretability.

The paper introduces a method for selecting Gaussian graphical models using prior knowledge and applies it to metabolomic data, finding that metabolic pathways significantly influence metabolite dependencies.
