Project description
The gut microbiome plays an important role in several health related processes. Whether the microbiome composition is characterized by a heritability factors needs to be evaluated. This project will make use of genomic information of the microbiome of large cohort of monozygotic and dizygotic twins and will assess to what extent genomic differences are translated into
phenotypic and functional differences.
