Now, although that might sound impressive, in some ways it's a little bit problematic as a medical test, because you can probably tell which of these people is obese without knowing anything about their gut microbes, but it turns out that even if we sequence their complete genomes and had all their human DNA, we could only predict which one was obese with about 60 percent accuracy.
Embora isto pareça impressionante, de certo modo é um pouco problemático, como exame médico, porque, provavelmente, podemos afirmar quem é obeso sem saber alguma coisa dos micróbios intestinais. Mas acontece que, se sequenciarmos o genoma completo e tivermos todo o ADN humano, só poderemos afirmar a obesidade com 60% de precisão.
