The healthy human microbiome.

Genome medicine - 27 Apr 2016

Lloyd-Price Jason, Abu-Ali Galeb, Huttenhower Curtis

Abstract excerpt

Humans are virtually identical in their genetic makeup, yet the small differences in our DNA give rise to tremendous phenotypic diversity across the human population. By contrast, the metagenome of the human microbiome-the total DNA content of microbes inhabiting our bodies-is quite a bit more variable, with only a third of its constituent genes found in a majority of healthy individuals. Understanding this...
