Immune Gene Expression Covaries with Gut Microbiome Composition in Stickleback
Here, we document associations between host gene expression and gut microbiome composition in a nonmammalian vertebrate species. We highlight associations between expression of immune genes and both microbiome diversity and abundance of specific microbial taxa.
