Sewage Reflects the Microbiomes of Human Populations
UNLABELLED Molecular characterizations of the gut microbiome from individual human stool samples have identified community patterns that correlate with age, disease, diet, and other human characteristics, but resources for marker gene studies that consider microbiome trends among human populations scale with the number of individuals sampled from each population. As an alternative strategy for ...
متن کاملAncient human microbiomes.
Very recently, we discovered a vast new microbial self: the human microbiome. Our native microbiota interface with our biology and culture to influence our health, behavior, and quality of life, and yet we know very little about their origin, evolution, or ecology. With the advent of industrialization, globalization, and modern sanitation, it is intuitive that we have changed our relationship w...
متن کاملThe Human Genome, Microbiomes, and Disease
Disease may stem from the environment, genetics, and the human microbiome. In this chapter, we discuss what is currently known about the genetic and microbial contribution to human disease. Because this is a large area, we provide a high-level review of a few diseases to reveal underlying themes of the contribution of genetics and metagenomics to human disease. As changing a microbiome is a far...
متن کاملRaw Sewage Harbors Diverse Viral Populations
UNLABELLED At this time, about 3,000 different viruses are recognized, but metagenomic studies suggest that these viruses are a small fraction of the viruses that exist in nature. We have explored viral diversity by deep sequencing nucleic acids obtained from virion populations enriched from raw sewage. We identified 234 known viruses, including 17 that infect humans. Plant, insect, and algal v...
متن کاملSeven Billion Microcosms: Evolution within Human Microbiomes
Rational microbiome-based therapies may one day treat a wide range of diseases and promote wellness. Yet, we are still limited in our abilities to employ such therapies and to predict which bacterial strains have the potential to stably colonize a person. The Lieberman laboratory is working to close this knowledge gap and to develop an understanding of how individual species and strains behave ...
