Abstract: Understanding how microbes interact with each other is key to revealing the underlying role that microorganisms play in the host or environment and to identifying microorganisms as an agent that can potentially alter the host or environment. For example, understanding how the microbial interactions associate with parasitic infection can help resolve potential drug or diagnostic test for parasitic infection. To unravel the microbial interactions, existing tools often rely on graphical models to infer the conditional dependence of microbial abundances to represent their interactions. However, current methods do not simultaneously account for the discreteness, compositionality, and heterogeneity inherent to microbiome data. Thus, we build a new approach called "compositional graphical lasso" upon existing tools by incorporating the above characteristics into the graphical model explicitly. We illustrate the advantage of compositional graphical lasso over current methods under a variety of simulation scenarios and on a benchmark study, the Tara Oceans Project. Moreover, we present our results from the analysis of a dataset from the Zebrafish Parasite Infection Study. Our approach identifies changes in interaction degree between infected and uninfected individuals for three taxa, Photobacterium, Gemmobacter, and Paucibacter, which are inversely predicted by other methods. Further investigation of these method-specific taxa interaction changes reveals their biological plausibility. In particular, we speculate on the potential pathobiotic roles of Photobacterium and Gemmobacter in the zebrafish gut, and the potential probiotic role of Paucibacter. Collectively, our analyses demonstrate that compositional graphical lasso provides a powerful means of accurately resolving interactions between microbiota and can thus drive novel biological discovery.
