Human, T., & Project, M. (2012). A framework for human microbiome research. Nature, 486(7402), 215–21. doi:10.1038/nature11209 A variety of microbial communities and their genes (the microbiome) exist throughout the human body, with fundamental roles in human health and disease. The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded Human Microbiome Project Consortium has established a population-scale framework to…

http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.0050077 Abstract: The world’s oceans contain a complex mixture of micro-organisms that are for the most part, uncharacterized both genetically and biochemically. We report here a metagenomic study of the marine planktonic microbiota in which surface (mostly marine) water samples were analyzed as part of the Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling expedition. These samples, collected…
