Abstract

News from the Inner Tube of Life: A major initiative by the U.S. National Institutes of Health to sequence 900 genomes of microorganisms that live on the surfaces and orifices of the human body has established standardized protocols and methods for such large-scale reference sequencing. By combining previously accumulated data with new data, Nelson et al. (p. 994 ) present an initial analysis of 178 bacterial genomes. The sampling so far barely scratches the surface of the microbial diversity found on humans, but the work provides an important baseline for future analyses.

  • SagA orthologs are found in humans through alignment of the SagA NlpC/p60 domain with genomes within the Human Microbiome Project.

    “We further confirmed that SagA orthologs are found in humans through alignment of the SagA NlpC/p60 domain with genomes within the Human Microbiome Project (24) (Fig. 2C, Table S5).”
  • HMP1 yielded community resources including nucleotide sequences of microorganisms and communities, protocols for reproducible body-wide microbiome sampling and data generation, and computational methods for microbiome analysis and epidemiology.

    “This first phase of the HMP (HMP1) thus yielded a wealth of community resources: nucleotide sequences of microorganisms and communities from a large number of isolates, individuals, and populations (http://hmpdacc.org)34–37; protocols to support reproducible body-wide microbiome sampling and data generation38–40; and computational methods for microbiome analysis and epidemiology41–47.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
