It is presently possible to cheaply and reliably determine the bacterial populations making up the gut microbiome via 16S rRNA sequencing. This capability is giving rise to great deal of new knowledge regarding the ways in which changes in the gut microbiome affect health. Populations can provoke inflammation, known to drive the onset and progression of many age-related conditions, or generate harmful or helpful metabolites, about which less is known of the interaction with specific aspects of aging.
