Abstract excerpt
The microbial communities of the oral cavity are important elements of oral and systemic health. With emerging evidence highlighting the heritability of oral bacterial microbiota, this study aimed to identify host genome variants that influence oral microbial traits. Using data from 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we performed genome-wide association studies with univariate and multivariate traits of the...
