Hidden genetic differences in gut bacteria may hold clues to aging

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20261105/Hidden-genetic-differences-in-gut-bacteria-may-hold-clues-to-aging.aspx Two people can have similar gut bacteria but different microbial genetic profiles. A large-scale study investigates whether these hidden differences hold clues to aging, metabolism, and human health. In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers investigated associations between gut microbial single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and a broad range of human health phenotypes and environmental exposures using a phenome-wide association approach.
