Abstract excerpt
The microbiome is a key determinant of organismal health, yet inter-individual variability and heterogeneous responses to environmental conditions complicates the understanding of its effects on hosts. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis using the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) to investigate how the interplay between host genetic variation and diet influences microbiome composition, and to...
