Just a friendly reminder @moderna_tx told the @SECGov that the @US_FDA defines #mRNA as gene therapy. And called it an unprecedented new category of #medicines tho they really want that #vaccine classification anyways for liability protections & fear the public wouldn’t take it.
Excited to share our article presenting the @globalmicrobiom initiative and releasing our first batch of data and results! This work highlights how microbiomes acquire new functionality based on host lifestyle. @CellCellPress.

We've known that transitioning from non-industrialized to industrialized lifestyles is associated with changes in gut #microbiome composition and decreased diversity. Whether gut bacterial genomes may also adapt to the industrialization of their host remains largely unexplored.
With @globalmicrobiom scientists, we generated thousands of bacterial genomes from 15 populations spanning a range of industrialization - in the USA, Canada, Finland, Tanzania, Nigeria, Ghana & Cameroon to understand how host lifestyle impact the evolution of our gut microbiomes.
