[CODE] Mother-infant microbiota transmission and infant microbiota development across multiple body sites

This repository stores this Gitlab repository, including R-code used to analyse our data. The code is associated with a manuscript entitled 'Mother-infant microbiota transmission and infant microbiota development across multiple body sites'. In this study, we explored mother-to-infant transmission routes and assessed early-life microbiota development across up to six maternal and infant body sites. Maternal contributions to infant microbiota composition differed by niche, with a main role for the breastmilk microbiota. Reduced transmission of faecal microbes in Caesarian section born infants may be compensated by other transmission routes. The upload mainly includes scripts (.Rmd) and source-scripts (.R). Results in the form of .html-output of .Rmd-scripts was also stored.
