NIEHS is committed to conducting the most rigorous research in environmental health sciences, and to communicating the results of this research to the public. The importance of the initial inoculating microbial community on the community composition at later stages is evident from animal studies. The outcome might also provide perspective on contemporary human evolution: that is, on whether and how rapidly advancing technology, and the resultant transformation of human lifestyles and the biosphere, influences the 'micro-evolution' of humans and thereby health and predisposition to various diseases. The artificial sweetener acesulfame potassium affects the gut microbiome and body weight gain in CD-1 mice. What types of comparison are needed: for example, should there be measurements of diversity within samples ( diversity); between samples ( diversity); between body habitats in a given individual; and/or between family members for a given habitat? If humans are thought of as a composite of microbial and human cells, the human genetic landscape as an aggregate of the genes in the human genome and the microbiome, and human metabolic features as a blend of human and microbial traits, then the picture that emerges is one of a human 'supra-organism'.

A., Hamady, M., Kelley, S. T. & Knight, R. Quantitative and qualitative diversity measures lead to different insights into factors that structure microbial communities. Microbial-community DNA was isolated from the distal-gut contents of genetically obese animals (ob/ob mice, which have a mutation in the gene encoding leptin) and their lean littermates (+/+ or ob/+) and then sequenced. The SlideShare family just got bigger. It is expected that the HMP will uncover whether the principles of ecology, gleaned from studies of the macroscopic world, apply to the microscopic world that humans harbour (see page 811). These communities include eukaryotes, archaea, bacteria and viruses. HUMAN MICROBIOME PROJECT Listen In a broad attempt to understand the role played by resident microbial ecosystems in human health and disease, in 2007, the National Institutes of Health launched the Human Microbiome Project. The advent of highly parallel DNA sequencers and high-throughput mass spectrometers with remarkable mass accuracy and sensitivity is propelling microbiology into a new era, extending its focus from the properties of single organism types in isolation to the operations of whole communities. Nature 444, 10271031 (2006). Targeted access to the genomes of low abundance organisms in complex microbial communities. These meetings are listed in the NIEHS Events Calendar and are open to the general public. Natl Acad. In addition, research in a mouse model of Alzheimers disease demonstrated thatexposure to cadmium altered an important communication pathway between the gut microbiome and the central nervous system called the gut-brain axis. This area of the website focuses on the first of a two-phase effort, frequently referred to as HMP1, which ran from 2008 through 2013. A microbiome is all of the genetic material found in a microbe, such as a bacterium, fungal cell or virus. The observations about diversity in the human gut microbiota might fit with predictions of the neutral theory of community assembly, which states that most species share the same general niche (an ecological term that, in the case of microorganisms, refers to 'profession'), or the biggest niche, and therefore are likely to be functionally redundant18. The HMP will also require researchers to move beyond comparative genomics to an integrated 'systems metagenomics' approach that accounts for microbial community structure (the microbiota), gene content (the microbiome), gene expression (the 'meta-transcriptome' and 'meta-proteome') and metabolism (the 'meta-metabolome'). DeSantis, T. Z. et al. And comprehensive microbial protein-sequence databases (for example, Protein Clusters; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=proteinclusters) are continually updated. Gill, S. R. et al. Bioremediation-like functions of the microbiota, such as detoxifying ingested carcinogens, might affect a host's susceptibility to various neoplasms, both within and outside the gut. Revised Estimates for the Number of Human and Bacteria Cells in the Body. For example, in the mouse gut microbiota, the effects of maternal transmission (kinship) are apparent over several generations in animals of the same inbred strain5. Google Scholar. The Human Microbiome Project (HMP) was a United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) research initiative to improve understanding of the microbiota involved in human health and disease. This has implications for identifying individuals who are at risk of being malnourished or obese and treating them on the basis of a more personalized view of nutrition that considers their microbial ecology. It is also unclear at what temporal and spatial scales this sampling should occur. First tier: initial data acquisition and analysis, Pillar one: construct deep draft assemblies of reference genomes, Select cultured representatives of microbial divisions in a given habitat by examining 'comprehensive' 16S-rRNA-gene-based surveys, Create a publicly accessible database of human-associated 16S rRNA gene phylotypes (which could be referred to as the 'virtual microbial body') to facilitate selection by allowing comparisons within and between body habitats, within and between individuals, and between separate studies; and develop faster and better alignment algorithms for building phylogenetic trees, Obtain phylotypes of interest from existing culture collections (both public and 'private'), with consent to deposit sequence data in the public domain, Improve technology for culturing organisms that cannot be cultured at present, Select a subset of 'species' for pan-genomic analysis (that is, the characterization of multiple isolates of a species-level phylotype), and develop better methods for detecting horizontal gene transfer, Ensure data flow to, and data capture by, the Protein Structure Initiative (http://www.structuralgenomics.org), Deposit sequenced isolates, together with information about habitat of origin, conditions for growth and phenotypes, in a public culture repository that can maintain and distribute microorganisms, Pillar two: obtain reference microbiome data sets, Focus on monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs and their mothers, Determine the advantages and disadvantages of different DNA-sequencing platforms, Characterize, at a preliminary level, within-sample () diversity and between-sample () diversity, Ensure the availability of user-friendly public databases in which biomedical and environmental metagenomic data sets are deposited, together with sample metadata, Develop and optimize tools (distance metrics) for comparing 16S rRNA gene and community metagenomic data sets, and feed back to the pipeline in which cultured or retrieved representatives of different habitat-associated communities are selected and characterized, Establish specimen and data archives with distribution capabilities, Generate large-insert microbiome libraries for present and future functional metagenomic screens, Coordinate with environmental metagenomics initiatives so that efforts to develop resources and tools are reinforced and shared, Pillar three: obtain shallower 16S rRNA gene and community metagenomic data sets from moderate number of samples, Extend sampling of families (for example, to fathers, siblings and children of twins), expand the age range of individuals sampled, and explore demographic, socio-economic and cultural variables, Establish a global sample-collection network, including countries in which social structures, technologies and lifestyles are undergoing rapid transformation, Develop and optimize computational tools and metrics for comparing these diverse multivariate data sets, Develop and optimize tools for analysing the transcriptome, proteome and metabolome, by using the same biological specimens used for sequencing community DNA, and develop and optimize tools for higher-throughput analyses, Design and test experimental models for identifying the principles that control the assembly and robustness of microbial communities, Second tier: choice of individuals that represent different clusters, for additional deep sequencing, Estimate sampling depth and number of individuals needed to characterize the 'full' human microbiome; the granularity of the characterization needs to match the data, Search for relatives of human-associated microbial species and gene lineages in other mammalian microbial communities and in the environment, and sequence the genomes of these microorganisms (defining niches; feed back to the first tier), Third tier: global human microbiome diversity project, Sequence at a shallow level the microbiomes from a large (to be defined) sample of geographically, demographically and culturally diverse individuals, Choose individuals with different clinical 'parameters', and carry out association studies and biomarker panning, Sequence at a large scale reservoirs of microorganisms and genes (for example, soils and water sources), and associate this information with the fluxes of energy, materials, genes and microbial lineages into the human microbiome (with the help of microbial observatories and human observatories), Apply the knowledge gained (for example, towards developing diagnostic tests, therapies and strategies for improving the global food chain), and educate people (including the public, governments, and present and future researchers in the field). Most of the 10100 trillion microorganisms in the human gastrointestinal tract live in the colon. Fan X, Alekseyenko AV, Wu J, Peters BA, Jacobs EJ, Gapstur SM, Purdue MP, Abnet CC, Stolzenberg-Solomon R, Miller G, Ravel J, Hayes RB, Ahn J.

73, 563571 (2007). Ascribing metabolic phenotypes (also known as metabotypes) to the microbiota should extend our repertoire of personalized biomarkers of health and of disease susceptibility. At present, there are 6.7 billion humans on Earth. How similar are the microbiomes between members of a family or members of a community, or across communities in different environments? These changes were more pronounced in male than female mice, providing insight into previously reported sexspecific effects of this toxicant on the nervous system.

The usefulness of comparative metagenomics is further underscored by a recent study, which showed that a host phenotype (obesity) can be correlated with the degree of representation of microbial genes involved in certain metabolic pathways19. From the Common Fund website: The Human Microbiome Project has transitioned from Common Fund support. Nucleic Acids Res. They will also enable the variation that is typical of a healthy state to be defined, making it possible to search for deviations that are associated with disease. Some progress has been made towards generating 'functional gene arrays', to determine the relative abundance of specific genes or transcripts in microbiomes33,34,35. The New Science of Metagenomics: Revealing the Secrets of Our Microbial Planet (The National Academies Press, Washington DC, 2007). More work is needed to improve the sensitivity of gene arrays and to apply this approach to complex communities such as the human microbiome. Germ-free animals have a smaller heart as a proportion of body weight than their colonized counterparts54. Asterisks indicate categories that are significantly enriched or depleted in the combined gut data set compared with the combined environmental data set (2 test, using the Bonferroni correction for multiple hypotheses, P < 104).

Characterization of the microbiomes of healthy human subjects at five major body sites, using 16S and metagenomic shotgun sequencing. Article The microbiota is a largely underexplored regulator of drug metabolism and bioavailability. However, deep sampling of body habitats from a few individuals is needed to estimate the distribution of species and genes: these estimates, in turn, will allow modelling of the trade-offs between deeper sampling of fewer individuals and shallower sampling of more individuals.
