Microbiome.org is the knowledge portal for all the microbes and their genes.

Microbiome is the totality of microbes, their genetic elements (genomes), and environmental interactions in a defined environment. A defined environments can be the gut of a human being or a soil sample. Thus, microbiome usually includes microbiota and their complete genetic elements.

TIGR found around 1000  bacteria in human guts.

Researchers suspect\ the human gut is at least as complex as our soils or seas.

Microbiome Project objectives

 

 

  • Determining whether individuals share a core human microbiome
  • Understanding whether changes in the human microbiome can be correlated with changes in human health
  • Developing the new technological and bioinformatic tools needed to support these goals
  • Develop biomarkers to identify the bacterial population of individuals.
