Taxon-in-context reveals ecological individuality in the human gut microbiome
Ecological theory holds that a microbe's role depends on its surrounding community. Yet abundance profiles and fixed ecological groupings leave its individual context implicit. We introduce taxon-in-context, a reproducible representation of each microbe's context within an individual's microbiome. Across 7,700 metagenomes, we show that common gut species occupy different contexts in different…
