  Evaluation Summary:

  This study aims to measure interpersonal and interethnic variation in human microbiomes and metabolomes in the San Franciso, CA, area. The strength of the study is in the level of robust analysis of the microbiota. It is interesting that diet is not one of the apparent associations in this study, yet the relationship of microbiota diversity to body habitus is strong in Caucasian subjects. Overall, the key results of this work nicely confirm that there are dissimilarities in gut microbiomes related to differences in ethnicity of subjects.
