Blueprint For Intestinal Bacteria
Science Blog reports that a research group and Washington U. has completed sequencing the genome of one of the most prevelent bacteria in the human gut. The leader of the team, Jeffery Gordon M.D. notes (if you are a clean freak, or squeemish, do not read the following) that the adult human body, is composed of 10 times more microbial cells than human cells. I really hope that's a misquote.
