Abstract
Our new project, conducted under the supervision and guidance of Dr. Heather E. Wheeler, will use multiethnic genomic datasets from Modeling the Epidemiological Transition Study (METS) and Pan-UK Biobank to investigate causal relationships between sleep chronotype, gut microbiota abundancy, and cardiometabolic disease. Our bidirectional mendelian randomization analyses will be assisted through the use of the R-based software tool TwoSampleMR.
