There is growing evidence that the microbiome influences host phenotypic variation. Incorporating information about the holobiont - the host and its microbiome - into genomic prediction models may accelerate genetic improvements in farmed animal populations. Importantly, these models must account for the indirect effects of the host genome on microbiome-mediated phenotypes.
越来越多的证据表明微生物组会影响宿主表型的变异。将宿主及其微生物组的整体信息纳入基因组预测模型中,可能会加速养殖动物群体的遗传改良。重要的是,这些模型必须考虑宿主基因组对微生物介导的表型的间接影响。
