Snippet: The human microbiome is the entire population of microbes (i.e., bacteria, fungi, and viruses) that colonize the human body. Metagenomics refers to culture-independent studies of the collective set of genomes of mixed microbial communities and applies to explorations of all microbial genomes in consortia that reside in environmental niches, in plants, or in animal hosts, including the human body [60] [61] [62] .

Document: The human microbiome is the entire population of microbes (i.e., bacteria, fungi, and viruses) that colonize the human body. Metagenomics refers to culture-independent studies of the collective set of genomes of mixed microbial communities and applies to explorations of all microbial genomes in consortia that reside in environmental niches, in plants, or in animal hosts, including the human body [60] [61] [62] . The "metagenome" of microbial communities that occupy human body niches is estimated to have a gene content approximately 100-fold greater than the human genome [63] . These diverse and complex collections of genes encode a wide array of biochemical and physiological functions that may be relevant in healthy and disease conditions.
