Table 9_IMicAP: an intelligent microbial application platform for knowledge-driven microbiome research.docx

Using curated microbe-disease and microbe-small molecule relations extracted with biomedical language models, IMicAP enables context-aware exploration of microbial relations.</p>Conclusion<p>IMicAP (available at: imicap.com:8443) is the first comprehensive, open-access, AI-powered microbial platform designed to bridge the gap between fragmented microbial data and actionable biological insights. It directly addresses 4 key limitations in existing resources: (1) Fragmented analysis without integrated workflows; (2) Narrow disease scope covering only one or two disease types; (3) Incomplete knowledge from restricted data sources; and (4) neglect of metabolomic information.

IMicAP serves as a versatile resource for advancing microbiome research and translational discoveries. Future development focus on expanding microbial coverage, enhancing reasoning scalability, and evolving toward a dual knowledge-and-data-driven architecture to further support mechanistic discovery in microbial systems biology.</p>
