How to Interact with RITA
Type your question into the RITA chat box for a literature-based response from our database of microbiome/microbiology papers . RITA understands both simple and complex queries, such as:- “Which microbial taxa are associated with inflammatory bowel disease?”
- “How can metabolic function be inferred from my shotgun metagenomics data?”
- “What are the latest findings on Akkermansia muciniphila in metabolic health?”
Example Use Cases
- Hypothesis Generation:
“Suggest potential microbial biomarkers for type 2 diabetes.” - Data Interpretation:
“How does lower alpha diversity indicate health and disease in skin microbiome data?” - Literature Review:
“Summarize recent publications on gut-brain axis microbiome interactions.” - Pathway Analysis:
<proide a list of differentially abundant functions> “Which metabolic pathways are related to my hypothesis on Crohn’s disease?”
