Document Summary
Healthy gut microbiota is diverse, and can resist change, or come back to equilibrium after an event. In obesity, there are more firmutes and a reduction in bacteriodetes. Dysbiosis is the imbalance of microbiota present and is common in the disease aka obese state. *relative risk= risk of probability of an event occurring so ie getting a disease. *or= odds of getting obesity with cnv vs not being exposed and not getting. Microbiome has 150 x more genes than the human genome and human genome has 25,000 genes for haploid with 2. 9 billion base pairs. Two major phyla of microbiota are firmicutes and bacteriodetes. Hdat histone de acetyl transferase takes off acetyl groups from lys and ser. Hat histone acetyl transferase adds acetyl groups to lys and ser. Most bacteria/archaea/mitochondria have similar or the same 16 s gene so 9 variable regions are looked at to assist in identification of the microbiota.
