I Ching offers an idea to summary the world by constructing functional mappings in finite groups. Much of ancient Chinese natural and social science grew from its concepts as root. The derived theories like "Eight Diagrams", "Five Elements" became the foundation of nearly all academic fields in acient Chinese. As a result, the theories are also the high concentration of many practical and statistical experience in China during her thousands-of-year history.

...To infer the structure of community-level metabolic interactions, BiomeNet applies a mixed-membership modelling framework to enzyme abundance information. The basic idea is that the mixture components of the model (metabolic reactions, subnetworks, and networks) are shared across all groups (microbiome samples), but the mixture proportions vary from group to group. Through this framework, the model can capture nested structures within the data. BiomeNet is unique in modeling each metagenome sample as a mixture of complex metabolic systems (metabosystems).
