Genomics Lite: What is the microbiome?

Genomics Lite is a series of public webinars, in this session we explore the world of the microbiome.

Have you heard of the term microbiome before but not quite known what it means? Jack and Sam speak to two scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute to delve deeper into the fascinating world of the microbiome, exploring the vast community of microorganisms that live in and on our bodies, with a focused look at the nasal microbiome. They also spend some time exploring how studying the microbiome can sometimes lead to the incidental capture of human data, raising important questions around data privacy and ethics.
