[Noisebridge-discuss] Sequence your personal microbiome

[Jessica Richman]

 In news of cool projects from Noisebridge members...

uBiome just launched the world's first service to sequence your microbiome
at www.indiegogo.com/ubiome <http://www.indiegogo.com/>  Personal
microbiome sequencing will help you understand how your lifestyle, diet and
medications affect your body, and empower you to take control of your health
. We've already been covered in Wired and VentureBeat (see below).

The human microbiome consists primarily of beneficial microbes that inhabit
the human body. The human microbiome may be as important as the human
genome to our health, but unlike the human genome, the microbiome can be
easily changed. Recent publications from Scientific American and Wired to
the NYT and the Economist have pointed out the startling discoveries that
can be learned about ourselves from the microbiome. uBiome brings this
cutting edge technology directly to consumers.  The more data we gather,
the more we learn.

Support us at www.indiegogo.com/ubiome and help SCIENCE!
