| 10 | + platforms, combined with increased computing technologies, has |
| 11 | + transformed the field of microbial community analysis. This |
| 12 | + transformation is evident by the exponential increase in the |
| 13 | + number of publications describing the composition and structure, |
| 14 | + and sometimes function, of the microbial communities inhabiting |
| 15 | + the human body. This rapid evolution of the field has been |
| 16 | + accompanied by confusion in the vocabulary used to describe |
| 17 | + different aspects of these communities and their environments. |
| 18 | + The misuse of terms such as microbiome, microbiota, metabolomic, |
| 19 | + and metagenome and metagenomics among others has contributed to |
| 20 | + misunderstanding of many study results by the scientific |
| 21 | + community and the general public alike. A few review articles |
| 22 | + have previously defined those terms, but mainly as sidebars, and |
| 23 | + no clear definitions or use cases have been published. In this |
| 24 | + editorial, we aim to propose clear definitions of each of these |
| 25 | + terms, which we would implore scientists in the field to adopt |
| 26 | + and perfect.}, |
