Caused by genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, complex diseases such as asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, hypertension, manic depression, schizophrenia, and others, are often difficult to treat. Disorders that are commonly referenced as "running in the family" can be classified as complex diseases.
Virus Ecology is a field that is gaining momentum, fueled in part by metagenomic studies from many environments previously ignored. Biodiversity studies of plant viruses show that they...
The research community has begun correlating the makeup of individual microbiomes with disorders and diseases such as obesity, atherosclerosis and cancer. To accomplish this, researchers must...
