<jats:title>News from the Inner Tube of Life</jats:title> <jats:p> A major initiative by the U.S. National Institutes of Health to sequence 900 genomes of microorganisms that live on the surfaces and orifices of the human body has established standardized protocols and methods for such large-scale reference sequencing. By combining previously accumulated data with new data, <jats:bold> Nelson <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> </jats:bold> (p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" page="994" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="328" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1183605">994</jats:related-article> ) present an initial analysis of 178 bacterial genomes. The sampling so far barely scratches the surface of the microbial diversity found on humans, but the work provides an important baseline for future analyses. </jats:p>
