The gut microbiota may play an important role in affecting human health. To explore the
genetic mechanisms underlying microbiota-host relationships, many genome-wide …

The human microbiome plays a key role in a wide range of host-related processes and has
a profound effect on human health. Comparative analyses of the human microbiome have …

Abundant microorganisms that inhabit the human intestine are implicated in health and
disease. The gut microbiome has been studied with metagenomic tools, and over 3 million …

Many studies have demonstrated the importance of the gut microbiota in healthy and
disease states. However, establishing the causality of host-microbiota interactions in …

The gut microbiome is affected by multiple factors, including genetics. In this study, we
assessed the influence of host genetics on microbial species, pathways and gene ontology …

A vast, complex and dynamic consortium of microorganisms known as the gut microbiome
colonizes the human gut. Over the past few decades, we have developed an increased …

We are only beginning to understand the relationship between host genetics and the gut
microbiome. Two recent studies help to disentangle this interaction and show that genetic …

How the gut microbiota is organized across space is postulated to influence microbial
succession and its mutualistic relationships with the host. The lack of dynamic or perturbed …

One approach to understanding gut microbiome–host interactions, described in this review,
is to examine how natural variation in a model organism, where environmental factors can …

Genetics provides a potentially powerful approach to dissect host-gut microbiota
interactions. Toward this end, we profiled gut microbiota using 16s rRNA gene sequencing …
