    20 May 2024 - Researchers analysed the DNA sequencing data generated from the blood of close to 10,000 healthy participants and found sporadic microbial DNA but no consistent blood microbiome, indicating transient microbial presences rather than a permanent community.

    Read more about the findings by the research team led by Dr Niranjan Nagarajan, Senior Group Leader at A*STAR’s Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), A*STAR National Science scholar Cedric Tan, and colleagues from GIS and Nanyang Technological University Singapore at https://research.a-star.edu.sg/articles/highlights/the-blood-microbiome-debunked/
