会议背景介绍:
The microbes in our body together with our own cells constitute the human being. These microbes consist of 100 trillion cells, ten-fold more than our own cells, and encode at least 100-fold more genes than our own genome. They have a profound influence on human physiology and are crucial for human life. Detailed understanding of human biology, health and disease will require unraveling the many roles of the microbes in our body.
