From niche to niche: investigating microbial communities and their specialised metabolite gene clusters in human microbiomes

Key Points

• Diverse microbial communities support specialized metabolite gene clusters, enhancing human health.
• The analysis identifies significant variation in microbial populations across different human microbiomes.
• Assessment using genomic sequencing techniques reveals the presence of unique metabolite gene clusters.
• The findings suggest implications for understanding human health and potential microbiome-targeted therapies.
