Reliable Biomarker discovery from Metagenomic data via RegLRSD algorithm.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biomarker detection presents itself as a major means of translating biological data into clinical applications. Due to the recent advances in high throughput sequencing technologies, an increased number of metagenomics studies have suggested the dysbiosis in microbial communities as potential biomarker for certain diseases. The reproducibility of the results drawn from metagenomic data is crucial for clinical applications and to prevent incorrect biological conclusions. The variability in the sample size and the subjects participating in the experiments induce diversity, which may drastically change the outcome of biomarker detection algorithms. Therefore, a robust biomarker detection algorithm that ensures the consistency of the results irrespective of the natural diver
