The document discusses supercomputing analysis of the human microbiome. It describes how the human body hosts 100 trillion microorganisms containing 300 times as many genes as human DNA. Dr. Smarr has been collecting extensive personal health data over 7 years, including microbiome samples, to study the coupled immune-microbial system. Analyzing this data requires elaborate software running on high performance computers. The analysis can compare individuals with diseases to healthy populations and track disease progression over time.
