Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of microbiome research has experienced exponential growth in the past decade, revolutionizing our understanding of the complex relationships between microorganisms and their hosts. As we approach 2025, taking stock of the latest advancements and emerging trends in this dynamic field is essential. This Special Issue of Microorganisms aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the cutting-edge research and innovative approaches shaping the future of microbiome science through a compilation of timely research articles, reviews, and perspectives that capture the rapidly evolving landscape of microbiomes each year.
The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide range of topics, including the application of next-generation sequencing technologies for microbiome profiling, the integration of multi-omics data to unravel the functional potential of microbial communities, the development of computational tools for microbiome data analysis, and the translation of microbiome research into clinical and environmental interventions. We particularly welcome submissions that explore the role of the microbiome in human and animal health and disease, the impact of environmental factors on microbial communities, and the potential of microbiome-based therapies and biotechnological applications.
By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, we aim to advance the field of microbiome research and pave the way for groundbreaking discoveries that will have far-reaching implications for human and animal well-being, environmental sustainability, and the development of innovative biotechnological solutions.
