Mazmanian: "Our laboratory is not that sophisticated, we use an ancient technique called experimentomics" #ihmc11
Cantarel: "i'm showing the obligatory heat map which is necessary for all microbiome talks" #ihmc11
Cantarel: investigating Crohn's disease is CSI: Human Gut. need DNA evidence to finger the suspects #ihmc11
@SaheliDatta They are taking surgical samples and sequencing all the RNA in bulk. So can't distinguish whether ECM or not.
@SaheliDatta it's associated w/ colorectal cancer. Mark Morrison, Robert Holt, & Lisa Raeburn discuss. anything specific to ask? (luv u 2)
Ehrlich: Our other genome (the microbiome) is much more variable than the first; personalized medicine should target it #ihmc11
Eric Alm: farm animals are vectors for antibiotic resistance genes #ihmc11
Blaser: farmers use low-level antibiotics to promote growth of animals; when we eat that meat, they do the same to us => obesity #ihmc11
@GenomeInstitute thanks for the hat tip
George Weinstock plays Marc Antonio's movie of microbiome composition, "Isn't metagenomics cool?" #ihmc11
Charlie Xiang: "Welcome to Shanghai, the most beautiful city in China. I want to see you there next time!" #ihmc11
@yowino unfortunately hasn't included such an interesting scenario yet -- maybe it will be found later!
RT @yowino: @emergentnexus beginning of prisonner's dilemma matrix on fernandes' slides showing possible interactions between bugs? :)
@mommiologist sorry to be missing it!
RT @mommiologist: Pat Schloss - super interesting - temporal dynamics and alternative stable states in mice - FINALLY! Importance of ecology #IHMC11
@MikeyJ glad you like it!
RT @mommiologist: #IHMC11 Jared Leadbetter - functional microbiome of termites and humans more alike than humans and cows. Neither of us make methane.
RT @arstechnica: Drug-resistant bacteria: to humans from farms via food: http://arstechnica.com/science...
Curtis Huttenhower's slides feature Plush Microbes :-) #ihcm11
@dorejoel thomas sharpton set up a friendfeed room at http://friendfeed.com/ihmc2011
@toranaga http://friendfeed.com/human-m... (this is where i microblogged HMP in September) #ihmc11
Wireless keeps suddenly dying, grrrrr #ihmc11
@toranaga Uh-oh, I had been microblogging in a different room. Will move there for the next session.
Brett Finlay: "We colonized the HeJ mice with NIH feces. Sorry, NIH!" #ihmc11
RT @secretGeek: There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors.
Wireless & power permitting, I'll blog International Human Microbiome Congress 2011 at http://friendfeed.com/human-m... #ihmc2011
That is. I'll use the same room as for the Human Microbiome Research Conference. Please feel free to join in! http://friendfeed.com/human-m... - Ruchira S. Datta
Oops, Thomas Sharpton had set up a different room. Will move there: http://friendfeed.com/ihmc2011 - Ruchira S. Datta
