EU-funded project MetaHIT official website
Information about the EU-funded project MetaHIT (Metagenomics of the Human Intestinal Tract) is now available on the official website, www.metahit.eu. MetaHIT gathers 12 European institutes and a Chinese partner. The project focuses on the constitution of a gene catalogue of the intestinal microbiota and interactions of the microbiota with the human host. The research undertaken in MetaHIT will lead to a considerable progress in the understanding of the human metagenome, by the identification of functions of the gut microbiota. Discovery of associations between these functions and human health will open avenues for numerous diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
