Measuring RNA

Punish the Sin, Not the Sinner
Every single company that looks at your microbiome is asking the same question about what organisms are in your gut.
What if the 10,000 different organisms could be producing the same thing that's making you sick?
It's not about who they are but what they are doing.
Focus on what they are doing that's wrong and then focus on that.
Punish the sin, not the sinner.
