Interesting. I wonder if there's work being done to combine this approach with the modeling done for personalized chemo treatment to determine drug effectiveness against tumor tissues. It feels like combining modeling techniques for the disease + host would provide the best result. All I got when I started reading papers and articles describing the function of gut bacteria in the body is that "it's complicated". So its interesting to see the words "manipulating gut bacteria".

There is Personalized OncoGenomics (POG). > ...compares the patient’s normal DNA (each cell’s complete set of instructions) with the DNA of their tumours. It also compares the RNA of their tumours to reference RNA. http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/features/everything-you-need-to-know-about-pog-personalized-oncogenomics-program http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/features/everything-you-nee... http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/features/bc-doctor-pioneers-a-new-approach-to-cancer-treatment http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/features/bc-doctor-pioneers...
