Leveraging genome sequences and deep phenotyping data from infected mouse genetic reference populations (GRPs), quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping approaches have successfully identified host genomic regions associated with TB phenotypes.

The sequencing revolution revealed the remarkable bacterial genetic and proteomic diversity and the genomic content of cultured and uncultured bacteria.

In recent years, exciting new bioinformatic tools, many of which are based on machine learning, facilitate the challenging task of gene and protein function discovery in the era of big genomics data, leading to the generation of testable hypotheses for bacterial protein functions. The new tools allow prediction of protein structures and interactions and allow sensitive and efficient sequence- and structure-based searching and clustering.

Changes in the microbiome composition are also associated with changes in the functioning of the host, and there has been considerable focus on how environmental variables regulate plant microbiomes.
