Detailed explanation-1: -The Human Microbiome Project was launched by the National Institutes of Health in 2007 with the mission to generate the resources and expertise needed to characterize the human microbiome and analyze its role in health and disease.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, each human body hosts 10 microorganisms for every human cell, and these microbes contribute to digestion, produce vitamin K, promote development of the immune system, and detoxify harmful chemicals. And, of course, microbes are essential to making many foods we enjoy, such as bread, cheese, and wine.
Detailed explanation-3: -The HMP1 set the following goals: Develop a reference set of microbial genome sequences and to perform preliminary characterization of the human microbiome. Explore the relationship between disease and changes in the human microbiome.
Detailed explanation-4: -The HMP was designed to increase our understanding of the complex and abundant microbial communities of the human body and their role in health and disease. HMP was organized into two phases. Phase 1 focused on determining the microorganisms which make up the microbiome.
