MicrobiomeNet: exploring microbial associations and metabolic profiles for mechanistic insights
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The growing volumes of microbiome studies over the past decade have revealed a wide repertoire of microbial associations under diverse conditions. Microbes produce small molecules to interact with each other as well as to modulate their environments. Their metabolic profiles hold the key to understanding these association patterns for translational applications. Based on this concept, we developed MicrobiomeNet, a comprehensive database that integrates microbial associations with their metabolic profiles for mechanistic insights. It currently contains a total of ∼5.8 million known microbial associations, coupled with >12 400 genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) covering ∼6000 microbial species. Users can intuitively explore microbial associations and compare their corresponding metabolic profiles. Our case studies show that MicrobiomeNet can provide mechanistic insights that are consistent with the literature. MicrobiomeNet is freely available at https://www.microbiomenet.com/.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
