1. Introduction

Sparse Estimation of Correlations among Microbiomes (SECOM) (Lin, Eggesbø, and Peddada 2022) is a methodology that aims to detect both linear and nonlinear relationships between a pair of taxa within an ecosystem (e.g., gut) or across ecosystems (e.g., gut and tongue). SECOM corrects both sample-specific and taxon-specific biases and obtains a consistent estimator for the correlation matrix of microbial absolute abundances while maintaining the underlying true sparsity. For more details, please refer to the SECOM paper.

3. Example Data

The HITChip Atlas dataset contains genus-level microbiota profiling with HITChip for 1006 western adults with no reported health complications, reported in (Lahti et al. 2014). The dataset is available via the microbiome R package (Lahti et al. 2017) in phyloseq (McMurdie and Holmes 2013) format.

data(atlas1006, package = "microbiome")
tse = mia::makeTreeSummarizedExperimentFromPhyloseq(atlas1006)

# subset to baseline
tse = tse[, tse$time == 0]

# Re-code the bmi group
tse$bmi = recode(tse$bmi_group,
                 obese = "obese",
                 severeobese = "obese",
                 morbidobese = "obese")
# Subset to lean, overweight, and obese subjects
tse = tse[, tse$bmi %in% c("lean", "overweight", "obese")]

# Create the region variable
tse$region = recode(as.character(tse$nationality),
                    Scandinavia = "NE", UKIE = "NE", SouthEurope = "SE", 
                    CentralEurope = "CE", EasternEurope = "EE",
                    .missing = "unknown")

# Discard "EE" as it contains only 1 subject
# Discard subjects with missing values of region
tse = tse[, ! tse$region %in% c("EE", "unknown")]

5. Run SECOM on Multiple Ecosystems

5.1 Data manipulation

To compute correlations whithin and across different ecosystems, one needs to make sure that there are samples in common across these ecosystems.

# Select subjects from "CE" and "NE"
tse1 = tse[, tse$region == "CE"]
tse2 = tse[, tse$region == "NE"]

# Rename samples to ensure there is an overlap of samples between CE and NE
colnames(tse1) = paste0("Sample-", seq_len(ncol(tse1)))
colnames(tse2) = paste0("Sample-", seq_len(ncol(tse2)))

print(tse1)
