> I think you're largely missing the point of this article, which mostly summarizes a novel technique for comparing gut biome diversity As I already said, it doesn’t largely do that. It mentions it in literally one paragraph that is itself mostly fluff. The most substantive line is literally “with computers”: > With computers, they were able to compile the fragments of DNA sequenced into whole genomes of the gut microbes present. There’s no further mention of how these computers work or what they do or what is novel about them. And that’s the most interesting part of the piece.
