To the Editor:
Pyrosequencing has revolutionized microbial community analysis by allowing the simultaneous assessment of hundreds of microbial communities in multiplex with sufficient depth to resolve meaningful biological patterns. These techniques have been used to study microbial processes on scales ranging from continents1 to within an individual's body2.
