microbial sequencing

The researchers also found that niche-based processes underlie how the skin microbiomes of people living in megacities are assembled.

Researchers compared microbes found by swabbing the International Space Station to swabs taken from houses and to the human microbiome.

Higher levels of oral bacteria like Tannerella forsythia and Porphyromonas gingivalis increased the risk of esophageal cancer, though other bacteria had protective effects.

Researchers crowdsourced thousands of microbiome samples to examine global microbial diversity and generate a resource for researchers.

Additional Human Microbiome Project samples have enabled a deeper look into the stability and molecular processes of the microbes that live on and in people.

A life sciences industrial strategy out this week provided long-term guidance for supporting and enhancing growth in the sector in the UK.
