  • To provide a novel tool for cancer research integrating microbial and host genetic information.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a computational framework integrating genomic and transcriptomic analysis.
  • Application of the framework to analyze tumoral data for microbial signatures.
  • Validation of the detection framework using simulated and real-world datasets.

Main Results:

  • The computational framework demonstrated reliable detection of microbial organisms in tumoral data.
  • The study identified specific microbial signatures within the analyzed tumor samples.
  • The framework showed high accuracy and sensitivity in distinguishing microbial signals from host data.

Conclusions:

  • The developed computational framework offers a reliable method for detecting microbes in the TME.
  • This approach has significant potential for advancing our understanding of host-microbe interactions in cancer.
  • Future research can utilize this framework to explore the role of the microbiome in cancer development and progression.
