The human body is host to 100 trillion microorganisms, ten times the number of DNA-bearing cells in the human body,
and these microbes contain 300 times the number of DNA genes that our human DNA does. The microbial component of
our "superorganism" is comprised of hundreds of species with immense biodiversity. To put a more personal face on
the "patient of the future," I have been collecting massive amounts of data from my own body over the last seven years,
which reveals detailed examples of the episodic evolution of this coupled immune-microbial system. An elaborate
software pipeline, running on high performance computers, reveals the details of the microbial ecology and its genetic
components, in health as well as in disease. Not only can we compare a person with a disease to a healthy population,
but we can also follow the dynamics of the diseased patient. We can look forward to revolutionary changes in medical
practice over the next decade.

To Understand the Interaction of Genetics and the Immune System
We Must Consider the Human Microbiome
Your Microbiome is
Your “Near-Body” Environment
and its Cells
Contain 300x as Many DNA Genes
As Your Human DNA-Bearing Cells
Your Body Has 10 Times
As Many Microbe Cells As DNA-Bearing
Human Cells
Inclusion of the “Dark Matter” of the Body
Will Radically Alter Medicine
New Estimates In 2016 Estimate a Human Body Contains
~30 Trillion Human Cells and ~40 Trillion Microbes
However, Red Blood Cells and Platelets Have No Nuclear DNA.
Therefore, Ratio of DNA-Bearing Cells for Human vs. Microbiome is Still >10:1
