A Non‐Metaproteomics Researchers’ View on Metaproteomics in Microbiome Research

Le résumé fourni par la source

Metaproteomics, an emerging field among the omic techniques, holds great promise for unraveling the function of microbiomes in host health and our environment. Metaproteomics can also be a valuable addition to multiomics studies of the microbiome, complementing genome-resolved metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metabolomics. The potential advancements from metaproteomics and multiomics research touch a breadth of disciplines, including ecology, biochemistry, immunology, medical microbiology, cell physiology, and medicine, and could lead to both fundamental and applied discoveries. However, there are significant roadblocks to widespread adoption of metaproteomics among microbiome researchers. In this Viewpoint article, we highlight the pivotal role of metaproteomics in microbiome research by showcasing its advantages, exploring opportunities to overcome challenges, and paving the way for its broader adoption as a mainstream technique. We hope that the recommendations provided in this Viewpoint article will inspire new, beneficial collaborations between proteomics experts, algorithm and infrastructure developers, biochemists, cell biologists, and microbiologists, enabling the construction of a knowledge base of microbiome function that can have an immediate and direct impact on host health and the environment.
