Are there other sequencing centers throughout the world collecting samples from people of different nationalities?
There are human microbiome centers popping up all around the planet with most being in European countries. We just had the first meeting of the International Human Microbiome Consortium in Heidelberg, Germany. There were ten countries represented and we all compared notes. The International Consortium would like to answer questions about people from different nationalities and is figuring out how to systematically collect samples, analyze data, various things like that, so each individual project is able to leverage information to get the most out of this endeavor.
