Genetics Does Influence the Gut Microbiome, Long Term Research Reveals Gut microbiome, the collective population of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes in our gastrointestinal tract, has been implicated in regulating our hormones, behavior, response to drugs, and susceptibility to certain diseases. Over several research paradigms, we understand the role of the gut microbiome in health and disease, but we do not fully realize the determinants and their effects on the microbiome. Some studies suggest that the environment largely shapes the microbiome.   In a new study published in Science, scientists from Notre Dame University, Duke University, and the University of Minnesota demonstrate the genetic heritability of the gut microbiome. Profiling the microbiome from over 500 wild baboons from fecal samples collected over 14 years, the authors could understand the link between diet, environment, and genetics in shaping and altering the gut biome.
