Study isolated genomes of 150,000+ #microbes persisting in the human body (many previously unknown) š This vastness of the human #microbiome is why I seldom focus on specific strains/speciesāļøand instead study shared #metabolite expression + common persistence mechanisms
Especially true b/c although the team did an impressive analysis, their technology did not yet account for many #viral and #eukaryotic genomesāļøAlso data was derived from stool, skin, vagina + oral cavity only - meaning #organisms in other human body sites remain understudied 
Excellent @sminot blog on study states š ā..there are many new #microbes that weāve never seen before. Some of those are new strains of clearly recognizable species...but some will be #novel organisms that have never been cultured or sequenced by any labā minot.bio/home/2019/1/18ā¦
