Host microbe interactions in the primate gut: Implications for human origins

The breadth of microbiome research produced in the last decade has evidenced the vast diversity of human‐associated microbial systems, correlating specific microbial states to a myriad of host phenotypes. However, there is still a significant gap in our understanding of how humans and their residing microbes communicate, in light of environmental change and host evolution. By employing a meta‐OMIC approach (metatranscriptomics, metagenomics and...
