Metagenomics data analysis using a latent block model: application to plant-microbial communities interactions in the rhizosphere

Metagenomics is the study of microbial communities directly from environmental samples. We will propose a model and the tools of inference associated for a simultaneous clustering: the one on the populations of bacteria constituting the metagenome, and the other one on the samples. We will apply this model on the plant-microbial communities interactions in the rhizosphere.
