MicrobiomeGWAS: a tool for identifying host genetic variants associated with microbiome composition

2015-11-10

Abstract excerpt

The microbiome is the collection of all microbial genes and can be investigated by sequencing highly variable regions of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Evidence suggests that environmental factors and host genetics may interact to impact human microbiome composition. Identifying host genetic variants associated with human microbiome composition not only provides clues for characterizing microbiome variation but a...
