Interplay of the nasal microbiome and epigenome among adolescents
Our findings support the hypothesis that the nasal microbiome is associated with small-to-modest variation in the nasal epigenome. Future research is needed to investigate how the relationship between the nasal microbiome and epigenome is impacted by environmental exposures, as well as the health effects of microbial and epigenetic variation in early life and across the life course.
