Welcome to ‘Hologenome’
‘Hologenome’ is a collaborative environment for opinions, scientific papers, evolving research, cutting edge companies and investors interested in the hologenome, the microbiome, symbiosis and metagenomics.
What is the Hologenome?
New scientific findings indicate the necessity of a revision of our understanding of a complex creature. Until recently, an organism was considered as a singular entity loosely associated with various individual microbes. However, current research reveals that all complex creatures … Read More
Why does ‘the hologenome’ matter?
The recognition that all complex organisms are holobionts (hologenomes as vast collaborative networks of collaborative, co-dependent and competitive co-linked ecologies which only seems to us as unitary organisms) impels a complete reorganization of evolutionary thinking. Since all organisms are holobionts, … Read More
What is metagenomics?
Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples. The field is the investigation of the full microbiotic community and its genetic complement. The microbial ecological communities within any environment have traditionally been vastly underestimated due to the … Read More
Importance of the Microbiome
A microbiome is the entirety of the microbial life that is a part of the ecological communities comprising all complex creatures. For example, the bacterial colonization of the intestine that begins at birth is a process of considerable interest to … Read More
