I am using IGV to view the mapped bam file to the reference- some genes have no coverage at all (no grey bars)- how could I know if these regions are absent from my genome (compared to the reference) or they were not sequenced at all?

You are not going to know for sure from data you have at hand. Here are a couple things to consider.
If you have good coverage on either side of the region you are not seeing then there is a chance that the region is absent in your genome (you will need to verify by additional experimentation).
If you do not have uniformly good depth of coverage across the genome then you would not know if a particular region was not sequenced. You would probably need to sequence deeper in that case.

I was wondering why I can see in IGV white bars at certain regions (not grey bars)?

Is this exome capture? If so I would check the regions are captured by the kit used in the first place. The bed files for the capture regions will be available from the manufacturer, and it may be that the regions might not be sequenced for this reason.

The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...-
