Plant Based Diet, Ethnicity, and the Gut Microbiome

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diet Modification, Microbial Colonization

In brief

Samples will be collected to determine human genetic variation, fecal and oral microbial communities, and metabolome products. Several evolutionary and ecological diversity metrics will be distilled to test: a) if microbiome variation within each ethnicity is less than that between ethnicities; b) if microbiome variation is finely structured according to genetic relatedness; and c) if dietary variation impacts human genome x microbiome associations.
