Cross-Kingdom Regulation Between Dietary Small RNAs and Human Gut Microbiome, and Its Influence on Human Health

Objective

To 1) use in-silico/bioinformatic approach to identify candidate small RNAs targeting human gut microbiome genomes; 2) evaluate candidate dietary small RNAs¿ effect on microbiome in-vivo; 3) correlate small RNAs¿ effect to observed changes in microbiome induced by plant-based diet.
