The development of dietary guidance relies upon the ability to synthesize a body of evidence and arrive at a reasonably well-supported conclusion. Although publications have purported to identify characteristics of a “healthy gut microbiome”, the one certainty at present is that gut microbiome is highly variable across individuals. In addition, the reality is that gut microbiome research still requires method advancement and refinement. Continuing to improve methods, and working toward alignment across laboratories will move all closer to understanding how diet can impact health at the point of the gut microbiome. In this session, the current state of knowledge related to sample collection, utility of standards, sequencing, and bioinformatic and biostatistical approaches will be reviewed by experts working in the field. Speakers will expand on how selection among the various methodological options can impact study results.
