After skimming these articles about microbiome, as I am not an expert in this area I could not find it interesting. However, I searched more about microbiome and found an article suggesting a curious idea. It says that since there are numerous numbers of microbiome in our bodies or outside of our bodies and each person carries different ones even within a family, it might be able to use as a tip to distinguish people like a fingerprint or track people like a GPS. It says that it might enable police to find where criminals are. As I recognized that microbiome could be information of myself, I came to be interested in it. There could be plenty of merits to our lives, but at the same time I am afraid of what experts in this area will find and choose what to do.
