Abstract
Although environmental impacts on the host microbiome have been well studied, it is less certain whether and how host genetics impact the microbiome. This commentary discusses current literature supporting host genetic influences on resident species and pathogenic microbes. Mechanistic experimental studies are warranted to understand host gene-microbiome interplay.
