NCT03925597

Brief Summary

The investigators propose a comprehensive, multiomic study that will integrate longitudinal data associating changes in specific gut bacteria and host in response to prebiotic fiber supplementation. These data will guide the development of an integrative biological signature relating bacterial-derived metabolites with biological outcome in the host. The open sharing of data generated by the proposed research represents a significant public resource that will support and accelerate future novel studies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Mapping of microbiota changes in response to prebiotic intervention

    A detailed map of microbes and microbial gene expression changes during the intervention will be developed. Microbiota complexity in fecal samples will be determined by shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Novel microbes and gene pathways will be identified by de novo assemble of whole fecal metagenomes.

    3 years

  • Comprehensive phenotyping of host profile during prebiotic intervention

    Changes in host (human) phenotypic profile during the prebiotic intervention will be determined. Profile will include the metagenome, transcriptome, metabolome and cytokines of participants during the prebiotic intervention.

    4 years

  • Biological signatures identified from the integration of microbiome-host omes

    Biological signatures will be developed from the integration of the omics data with microbial metabolite levels.
