<h4>Background</h4>The degree to which host genetic variation can modulate microbial communities in humans remains an open question. Here, we performed a genetic mapping study of the microbiome in two accessible upper airway sites, the nasopharynx and the nasal vestibule, during two seasons in 144 adult members of a founder population of European decent.<h4>Results</h4>We estimated the relative abundances (RAs) of genus level bacteria from 16S rRNA gene sequences and examined associations with 1 ...[more]
