The '''American Gut Project''' is an open-access [[microbiome]] project run through the Knight lab at the [[University of California, San Diego]]. The project itself is part of the much larger [[Earth Microbiome Project]], an international effort involving over 100 labs world wide. It is possible to send the American Gut Project a sample and look see a summary of the organisms living in the gut using genetic sequencing of the bacteria.{{Citation needed}} The American Gut is based in the United States but it is not restricted to US participants. In addition to the American Gut, there is also a sister project in the UK called the British Gut Project (run by [[Tim Spector]], author of ''[[The Diet Myth]]'') that uses the same online back-end.{{Citation needed}} An aggregation site is also run in Australia through the [[Australian Centre for Ecogenomics]] at the [[University of Queensland]], which greatly reduces postal costs for participants from that part of the world.{{Citation needed}} At the time of writing the reports produced by [[uBiome]] appear more extensive but the methods are not assured to be supported by the scientific literature.{{Citation needed}} ==Learn more== *[http://americangut.org American Gut Project website] *[http://ecogenomic.org/ Australian Centre for Ecogenomics] *[http://britishgut.org/ British Gut Project website] *[http://www.earthmicrobiome.org/ Earth Microbiome Project] *[https://knightlab.ucsd.edu Knight lab] ==See also== *[[British Gut Project]] *[[Microbiome]] *[[Probiotics]] == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:Citizen science]]
