Kernel-based genetic association analysis for microbiome phenotypes identifies host genetic drivers of beta-diversity

Abstract Background Understanding human genetic influences on the gut microbiota helps elucidate the mechanisms by which genetics may influence health outcomes.Typical microbiome genome-wide association studies (GWAS) marginally assess the association between individual genetic variants and individual microbial taxa.We propose a novel approach, the
