The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
metagenomic sequencing is basically where they take all the dna in the sample and they grind it up and they sequence it and then they compare that to databases to determine what microbes are there and what microbial gene capacities they have so like the genome of your microbiome essentially and so metagenomics is the most it is the uh best and most granular sequencing technique
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
you're getting everything you're getting viruses you're getting fungi you're getting you're getting bacteria you're getting all sorts of organisms
yes so um it's actually quite similar when it comes to understanding the the the microbiome so you can do uh shotgun sequencing where you're getting the entire genomes of all the different microbes and then you need to be able to assign which genome goes to which microbe
