This year teams of dedicated researchers working on the new Human Microbiome Project (HMP) began collecting faeces samples and swabs from the vagina, mouth, nose and skin of 250 volunteers. Theya are the modern equivalent of Victorian bug hunters, classifying new species in uncharted territory. But rather than using nets and choloform, their tools are the high-speed genesequencing machines developed for the Human Genome Project. And their task dwarfs the genome project: with perhaps 1,000 species under investigation, the number of bacterial genes could amount to 200,000 compared with 2,0000 human ones.
