Scientists Create First Global Atlas of Urban Microorganisms
?If you gave me your shoe, I could tell you with about 90% accuracy the city in the world from which you came,? says Christopher Mason, Ph.D., a professor at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, NY, co-author of the first global atlas of urban microorganisms. The study, carried out by the international Metagenomics and Metadesign of Subways and Urban Biomes (MetaSUB) consortium, creates a map of the microbiome of some of the largest cities in the world.
