Abstract:The molecular bases of how host genetic variation impact gut microbiome remain largely unknown. Here, we used a genetically diverse mouse population and systems genetics strategies to identify interactions between molecular phenotypes, including microbial functions, intestinal transcripts and cecal lipids that influence microbe-host dynamics. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis identified genomic regions associated with variations in bacterial taxa, bacterial functions, including motility, sporulation and l… Show more
