A simple rule for predicting function of microbial communities

Abstract

Microbial communities perform many important functions, such as carbon sequestration, decomposition, pathogen resistance, etc., but quantitatively predicting functions of new communities remains a major challenge. In this issue of Cell, Diaz-Colunga et al. report a new simple statistical regularity that enables such predictions.
