ECOSMOS-lite

ECOSMOS is an Estimator of COmmunity Structure based on MetabOlic networkS (see also here for details). ECOSMOS reveals community structure of microbial ecosystem; in particular, it estimates cooperative and competitive interspecific interactions from taxonomic composition data (e.g., obtained from 16S rRNA analysis) based on metabolic interactions between microbes. In addition to this, ECOSMOS estimates dynamic properties based on random matrix theory. Specifically, ECOSMOS evaluates the local instability and reactivity of observed ecosystems, and it finds species that are susceptible to perturbations.
