MyMicrobes MyMicrobes

A German nonprofit, called MyMicrobes, is hoping you'll want to get your gut bacteria's genomes sequenced. It's expensive, but you'll get access to one of the most exclusive social networks around, where people worldwide can, um, talk about their gastrointestinal difficulties with like-minded people. Two grand seems cheap when we put it like that!

Actually, MyMicrobes does sound like an interesting project, even if we have a visceral reaction to any new social network or even the phrase social network or really anything relating to social networks that doesn't star Justin Timberlake. Peer Bork, a biochemist at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany, is behind MyMicrobes. It's expensive to start--it'll cost about $2,100 to get your gut bacteria sequenced, which involves mailing a fecal sample to Germany (seriously). That's expensive compared to, say, 23andMe, which is inclined to host crazy sales even despite the cheap entry fee. But apparently the gut bacteria is a much trickier genome to sequence than the human, with a few billion more lines of DNA to decipher.

In any case, MyMicrobes is hoping to create a social network so as to gather as much data as possible from folks actually suffering from gastrointestinal disorders. They estimate they'll need about 5,000 applicants before they can really glean meaningful data out of the social network, which may be difficult due to the cost. Still, it's definitely a one-of-a-kind project, and if you love talking about the intricacies of your gut, there aren't a ton of places to do it.

well, that's certainly... interesting...

why learn from your own mistakes, when you could learn from the mistakes of others?

Hello readers. If you are a mother, would you want you daughter to date drchuck1? If your children read and comment here, would you want this man writing to your children? Children do understand when the words like
b#tch,f#cking and so on. Judge this man not for one comment, but for all his comments and write POPSCI your thoughts. I wish his bad comments gone and this man too. I believe this man hates religion, woman and wants people to be punished and be below him. He is a shameful doctor. He post during the day. Why doesn't he talk to other doctors? I feel they would put him in his place!

you can keep repeating propaganda from the denier camp all you want, it doesn't make it less wrong...NASA, NSA, and NOAA all agree that steps need to be taken to prevent the worst of the climate change(along with every real science organization), so you are either being dishonest or completely clueless

12.8.2010 at 08:13am - Comment by drchuck1
@ laurenra7-stop spreading mis-information, all your comments concerning global warming are incorrect or common knowledge that has nothing to do with the current climate change-stay away from denier websites (propaganda) and try real science sites like NOAA, The National Science Foundation, NASA, just to name a few obvious ones (which all disagree with you)-ignorance is not bliss

@jupiehamster-you shouldn't be mis-leading with your comments...actually dishonest...mainstream science dismissed long ago intelligent design as having 0 evidence to support it and just another attack on science by creationist...you should be ashamed of yourself

@timias,there is no casual relationship between co2, global warming, and the industrial revolution, only hard facts from nearly the entire scientific comunity, by your comment there is a casual relationship between you and idiocracy, along with the rest of your conspiracy theorist brethren, the article is not about global warming so please stay on topic in future posts and go jump in a lake and get some more brain freeze, oops, you would have to have a brain

i swear, every nut job that visits this site posts their random thoughts without any thought on any evidence that supports these thoughts, when actually it is obvious bullshi# that anyone with half a brain would be embarressed to share, but with the anonymity these blogs have, people are empowered to be idiots, the normal response here to critism is "but we once thought the world was flat", that doesn't mean any idea has merit, the idea the world was flat was not proven wrong by random bullshi#, but by science, please think before you post...ok bubbanuts, add some more

first, dumb as#, i am not a libral, typical fox news bullsh#t comment...straight from The Christian Science Monitor "That was not his task, and that's not the task of NASA," Gibbs said during Monday's daily briefing. (Gibbs is the Whithouse Press Secretary) NASA confirmed that Bolden misspoke. "NASA's core mission remains one of space exploration, science and aeronautics," NASA spokesman Michael Cabbage told SPACE.com. "Administrator Bolden regrets that a statement he made during a recent interview mischaracterized that core mission. The success of NASA's efforts is increasingly enhanced by mutual cooperation with dozens of other countries around the world that are also committed to these efforts." Reagon tasked Vice President Bush to put a Saudi Prince Sultan into space. Reaching out to other cultures is not new, but not a core goal of NASA then or now, get your head out of your as# and you might see the light

not upset, so don't go crea#ing in your pants just yet, your still a fuc#ing lying troll, you stated "Yes, they have filmed farmers or locals making crop circles or and there are copy cat crop circle makers." but you stated earlier "For me, until we catch the space aliens, governement or hobbiest in the act of making a pefect crop circle and then interview them and prove how all the other crop circles are made, I am just not convinced. I never made any type of claim how these things were made." you say they have been filmed making crop circles, then say until they catch them in the act, then you say you never stated how they are made even thought you did state how they are made, do you actually pay attention to what you post, lier

@macmansa...if you have never had the flu consider yourself to be one of lucky few that have a genetically predisposed immunity to the flu (is that possible?), i get a shot or get the flu, so i get the shot, immunizations are different than anti-biotics and don't weaken the imune system, they train an imune system that is weak towards a certain virus and make it strong towards that virus, this saves millions of lives and don't have the greatly exagerated side effects that conspiracy loonies scream about

actually, Bubba, you don't disguise yourself too well, your first post under your new name gave it away immediatley, that's ok because you are behaving and mostly staying on topic, that's all that can be expected from anyone

the only excuse bubba b#tch could have for his behavior is being so ill he is house bound, she is a lier, period, perfect example, 5 miles in 25 minutes, typical lying b#tch troll, by the way, the world record for a 5 mile run is 20:19, 25 minutes is way faster than a jog, no way a typical jogger is that fast and his little bi#tch puppy dog could never keep it up for 5 miles, you have no honor (yes my language is unnessary, too bad, if popsci can put up with bubba bitch than they can put up with my language, did i mention you are a dishonorable lying b#tch
