Linking a particular phenotype to a gene often requires additional confirmation. One way to do this is to introduce a "good" copy of the gene and seeing if this fixes the mutant defect. This process is called genetic complementation because the unchanged (wild-type) gene is introduced into the mutant cells.

With greater diversity may come stability; that is, the gut microbiome may become more resilient to perturbations as it ages and matures with the host.
