Multi-omics of the human microbiome

Given the advances across various assay platforms which are now routinely used in the world of human microbiome R&D, it would be very informative to the readers to add a paragraph that talks about the study of the microbially derived metabolites using targeted and untargeted approaches and an example of the microbiome derived GPCR ligands that modulate human biology.

The commensal/symbiotic microbe species inhabiting a person's body. The exact species that are normally present will vary from person to person, hence why "normal flora" is used instead of anything more specific. Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 16:25, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please help to find the right place for the edit

Hi @NCervinho, I have reverted your edit:

Arthropods

There are species of mites that can only survive on human skin. Both Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis prefer to live in areas where the sebum production is high, mostly in human face.^[1] Although they can be found in other parts of the body, they are always associated to hair follicles, where they feed on the secretions of the sebaceous glands.

Usually mites don not cause harm, but they are related to some skin diseases.^[2]

That was done for a while to find more suitable place here on Wikipedia. I apologize for the inconvenience.
