Gut Microbiome

The community of trillions of microorganisms — bacteria, archaea, fungi (mycobiome), viruses, and bacteriophages — inhabiting the human gastrointestinal tract, with the highest density in the colon (~10¹¹ cells/g). The gut microbiome encodes 100–150 times more genes than the human genome and functions as a metabolic organ in its own right, producing vitamins…

One system.
Every kind of page.

The redesign is attached to WikiBiome’s shared article structure—not a static concept. Open four real records below to see the same visual grammar carry organisms, elements, conditions, and mechanisms without disturbing their content model.

One question becomes
a trail of evidence.

WikiBiome is designed for lateral discovery. A metal becomes a microbial dependency; that dependency becomes an enzyme; the enzyme opens a disease mechanism.
