Species specificity and specificity diversity (SSD) framework: a novel method for detecting the unique and enriched species associated with disease by leveraging the microbiome het... by Zhanshan Sam Ma

“…This prompts many researchers to believe that the promise should be downward to species or even strain level—effectively and efficiently identifying unique or enriched species in diseased microbiomes with statistical rigor. Nevertheless, virtually, all species-level approaches such as differential abundance and differential network analysis methods exclusively rely on species abundances without considering species distribution information, while it can be said that distribution is equally, if not more, important than abundance in shaping the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of community compositions. …”
