| Abstract | Metagenomic predictions use variation in the metagenome (microbiome profile) to predict the unknown phenotype of the associated host. Metagenomic predictions were first developed 10 years ago, where they were used to predict which cattle would produce high or low levels of enteric methane. Since then, the approach has been applied to several traits and species including residual feed intake in cattle, and carcass traits, body mass index and disease state in pigs. Additionally, the method has been extended to include predictions based on other multi-dimensional data such as the metabolome, as well to combine genomic and metagenomic information. While there is still substantial optimisation required, the use of metagenomic predictions is expanding as DNA sequencing costs continue to fall and shows great promise particularly for traits heavily influenced by the microbiome such as feed efficiency and methane emissions. |
