This collection contains 267 stool sample backups from the Viterbi Gut project. Viterbi Gut is a prospective birth cohort set up with 267 mother–infant pairs, embedded within the Laotian multi-generation cohort Viterbi. Using next-generation sequencing and measurements of metabolic health, the children will be assessed for conserved metabolic, epigenetic, and microbial changes, and possible associations within this triad will be investigated.
