  understanding the microbiome—human, animal, and environmental—is as important as the human genome
  Example sentencesExamples
  It is important to think of our bodies as a summation of the metabolic capabilities provided by our own genome and the microbiome.
  The groundwork for analysing the human microbiome—sequencing the collective genome of all our resident microorganisms—is now done.
