Dr Joseph Petrosino, director of the Alkek Center for Metagenomics and Microbiome Research, chair of molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas, and founder and chief science officer for Diversigen, explains the changes he has seen in the microbiome field, how it has evolved to include commercial entities since their work on the Human Microbiome Project, and how Illumina’s next-generation sequencing instruments provide commercial companies the information they need to move their research forward.
