Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Understanding human genetic influences on the gut microbiota helps elucidate the mechanisms by which genetics may influence health outcomes. Typical microbiome genome-wide association studies (GWAS) marginally assess the association between individual genetic variants and individual microbial taxa. We propose a novel approach, the covariate-adjusted kernel RV (KRV) framework, to map genetic variants...
