Genome {51111192}

Shared Reference Notes

• [1.1] 
  - The microbial genomes within each of our microbiomes contain an estimated 100 times the gene content as our own genome . This genetic material is sometimes referred to as our ‘second genome’, as the coding potential of the microbiome greatly expands upon the coding potential our own genome.
• [1.2] 
  - 16S rRNA transcript-based heritability estimates are positively correlated with cospeciation rate estimates. Genome-wide association mapping identifies 428 loci influencing 120 taxa, with narrow genomic intervals pinpointing promising candidate genes and pathways.
