Bacteria Divide People Into 3 Types, Scientists Say

Just found an interesting article in that they believe the human microbiome (at least in the gut) is split into a few major (possibly three) types.

It would be very interesting to be able to test ones own microbiome.

Just on the heals of this announcement now there appears to be a new company that is planning to offer to sequence peoples gut micorbiomes in the same fashion that google's "23 and me" offers to sequences peoples genomes. Please check out:
