: The study involved Ethiopian researchers in the design and implementation phases, and they retained ownership of the data. Any further processing of the data requires approval from these Ethiopian researchers. In the present manuscript, the first author and two co-authors are from Ethiopia. The relevance of the research was discussed with Ethiopian researchers, and a PhD student received training in microbiome and metagenomics research, areas where capacity is limited in Ethiopia. Fecal samples were shipped to Vestfold Hospital Trust in Tønsberg, Norway, for DNA extraction. The DNA extracts were then sent to the University of Wisconsin (UW), USA, following signature of an overall collaboration agreement involved Jimma University (JU) in Ethiopia, the University of Copenhagen (KU) in Denmark, the University of Bergen (UiB) in Norway, and the University of Wisconsin (UW), USA. The agreements govern the relationships between all parties, including the flow of materials and personal data (such as stool samples, clinical data, DNA extracts, sequence data, and results), project financing, the publication of foreground knowledge, and the responsibilities of each party. We have cited local and regional research relevant to our current study.
