FIGURE 4.
Illustrative representation of possible host and microbiome GWAS approaches. For mGWAS, different microbiome omic data could be individually or jointly regressed with host genomic data. Results from mGWAS and hGWAS will clarify on host-microbiome associations, effect of host-microbiome associations on the phenotype, and provide insight into biological system by giving a better view of the interaction networks that underlie expression of host phenotypes.
