Abstract excerpt
Host neurocognitive functions are influenced by the gut microbiome, but the role of microbial genetic variation in shaping host neural behavior remains unexplored. Here, we profiled multi-omics data and neurobehavioral phenotypes in a model of 200 Merino sheep. Genomic reconstruction of deeply sequenced fecal and ruminal samples generated 5,253 species-level metagenomic-assembled genomes, of which 3,548 were...
