An exciting new paper mapped the DNA of every subway station in New York, creating a "genomic map" of the city. The three card carrying MTA members discuss the crazy variety of findings - from traces of Tasmanian Devil to bacteria from Antarctica. Joe is two steps away from being a homeopath, while Raj admits to using garlic and yogurt for every remedy. Jono is convinced the unidentified bacteria belong to shape shifters.
The Paper: "Geospatial Resolution of Human and Bacterial Diversity with City-Scale Metagenomics" (Afshinnekoo et al., Cell Systems 2015)
