Hey Greg -
I just updated the FMP description, but am getting confused when I go to
Github.  I thought I needed to do a new pull request, but this option
doesn't seem intuitive/obvious on Github.  The whole Github process is
still a little confusing to me, as I don't use it much.  I can see the new
comment I just submitted, but am unsure what I'm supposed to do now.

Here is what I did so far:
I navigated to the git folder on my computer in terminal, and made sure it
was up to date by typing 'git pull origin master.'  Then I made my changes
in the FMP folder, and typed 'git commit --all -m "comment".  Then "git
push origin master."

Sorry for the confusion.  Just let me know what I need to do to complete
this.  Thanks!
-Katy

To date, longitudinal studies have focused only on one or a few individuals, sampled over a limited amount of time, or sampled infrequently.  We are currently in the beginning phase of the initial three-year study period, and we are developing an age/gender-stratified cohort of 1% of the population of Flagstaff, Arizona (approximately 700 subjects), who will donate monthly microbiome samples from five body sites.  This collection of samples will allow us to investigate factors associated with temporal dynamics in the human microbiome over a large population.  Data generated by the FMP will additionally be used to test hypotheses regarding specific genes and microbial species that may be keystone members of the microbiome, to be validated with qPCR.
