Using Supercomputers and Data Science to Reveal Your Inner Microbiome
The document discusses the extensive microbial ecosystem within the human body, emphasizing its complexity and potential impact on health and disease, particularly through the lens of Dr. Larry Smarr's personal microbiome research. It details methods employed for analyzing this ecosystem using supercomputers and advanced data science techniques, which allow for tracking changes in gut microbiota and their correlation with conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease. The research aims to define precise microbial profiles that could revolutionize medical practices and enhance our understanding of individual health dynamics.

Abstract The human bodyis host to 100 trillion microorganisms, ten times the number of 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. Thanks to the National Institutes of Health’s Human Microbiome Program researchers have been discovering the states of the human microbiome in health and disease. 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 ten 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. A variety of data science techniques are used to pull biomedical insights from this large data set. We can look forward to revolutionary changes in medical practice over the next decade.
