Microbiome-wide association study

A microbiome-wide association study (MWAS), otherwise known as a metagenome-wide association study (MGWAS), is a statistical methodology used to examine the full metagenome of a defined microbiome in various organisms to determine if some feature (as example, gene or species) of the microbiome is associated with a host trait. MWAS has been adopted by the field of metagenomics from the widely used genome-wide association study (GWAS).
