Abstract
Most studies focused much on the change in abundance and often failed to explain the microbiome variation related to disease conditions, Herein, we argue that microbial genetic changes can precede the ecological changes associated with the host physiological changes and, thus, would offer a new information layer from metagenomic data for predictive modeling of diseases. Interestingly, we preliminarily found a few genetic biomarkers on SCFA production can cover most chronic diseases involved in the meta-analysis. In the future, it is of both scientific and clinical significance to further explore the dynamic interactions between adaptive evolution and ecology of gut microbiota associated with host health status.
