Σύνοψη	Multi-omics microbiome diversity analysis integrates two or more omic data layers — such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metabolomics, and metaproteomics — to characterise both the composition and functional activity of microbial communities. By linking taxonomic diversity metrics with molecular phenotype data, the approach uncovers how community structure translates into ecological and host-relevant functions that no single omic layer can reveal alone.	Network-based microbiome diversity analysis integrates graph-theoretic co-occurrence network inference with classical alpha- and beta-diversity metrics to characterize the structural organization of microbial communities. Rather than treating taxa as independent entities, the method models pairwise microbial associations as edges in a network, enabling identification of keystone taxa, community modules, and ecological interaction patterns that simple diversity indices cannot detect.
