Gewin, Virginia
- Abstract
The article offers information on researcher Rob Knight, a leader in the field of microbiome research, which aims to sequence the mass of genes from microbial communities and use computational tools to count and compare species. It mentions that Knight is motivated by improvement of human and environmental health through the understanding of microbial world. Moreover, Knight is helping to chart a course for the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) to sequence the microbes that live in and on humans.
