Aims & Scope
Frontiers in Microbiomes is a specialty journal that covers all aspects of the study of microbiomes, from their composition and function to their interactions with hosts and the environment. We welcome original research, reviews, and perspective articles on topics such as: * Microbiome assembly and dynamics * Microbiome-host interactions (e.g., gut, skin, oral, plant microbiomes) * Environmental microbiomes (e.g., soil, water, air) * Metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics, and metabolomics * Bioinformatics and computational approaches to microbiome research * Microbiome-based diagnostics and therapeutics * The impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on microbiomes * Microbiome engineering and manipulation
