The Best Microbiome Articles of 2017
Posted 18th December 2017 by Jane Williams
2017 has been another big year for microbiome research. Not only is funding at an all-time high but the shift from 16S to whole-genome sequencing means that we are able to deduce the role it plays in health more effectively.
Outside the industry, there’s whispers of a ‘skinny microbiome’ and ‘fixing the gut’ and individuals are embracing the ‘microbiome diet’.
