Our views on the ethical, legal, and social implications of human microbiome research evolved over two years of discussion. They will be presented in a forthcoming volume to be published by Oxford University Press. Our work was funded by 1R01HG004856-01 as a component of the Human Microbiome Project, a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Fund initiative. We are grateful to Drs. Mark Babyatsky, Erwin Bottinger, and Marie Teil for their contribution to the group's education during the early stages of this project.
