Data acquisition and coordination key to human microbiome project

Data acquisition and coordination key to human microbiome project: "At birth, your body was 100-percent human in terms of cells. At death, about 10-percent of the cells in your body will be human and the remaining 90-percent will be microorganisms. That makes you a 'supraorganism,' and it is the interactions between your human and microbial cells that go a long way towards determining your health and physical well-being, especially your resistance to infectious diseases."
