Gut microbiome heritability is nearly universal but environmentally contingent
Open accessAbstract
Baboons inform on human gut microbiota: Commensal bacteria are found throughout an organism, but it is not known whether associations between gut bacteria and their host are heritable. Grieneisen et al.examined changes in the microbiomes of 585 wild baboons from fecal samples collected over 14 years (see the Perspective by Cortes-Ortiz and Amato). Almost all microbiome traits tested demonstrated some level of statistically significant heritability. Most heritability values were low but varied over time correlating with the age of the host. Baboons live in an environment similar to that postulated for early humans and have a microbiome similar to that of humans. Thus, this heritability of the microbiome may reflect similar genetic determinants in humans, for which similar datasets are not available. Science, aba5483, this issue p.181; see also abj5287, p.159

97% of the gut microbiota in monkeys exhibited significant heritability (h2).
“For instance, a study published in Science demonstrated that 97 % of the gut microbiota in monkeys exhibited significant heritability (h²), identifying the microbiome as a heritable host phenotype [21].”
From The hidden genetic and microbial networks connecting neuropsychiatric and digestive disorders (2025) · cites this paper as [21]
The “Genetic effects on the gut microbiome are near-universal” section reports significant heritability in 97% of single-taxon and community phenotypes in baboons. The claim describes that figure as 97% of the gut microbiota, but the paper reports 93% for single-taxon phenotypes and 95% for presence/absence phenotypes; the 97% figure does not apply to all gut microbes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
