SUPER COOL

Thanks for sharing that article.

A great friend of mine once told me the following quote from an unknown author: "Reinvent the wheel, not because we need more wheels but because we need more inventors." That quote has brought my mind and heart to some modicum of tranquility at various occasions when I wanted to learn some concept and resolved to write my own "toy version" of a software library, framework et cetera. Later on, when I learned about Feynman's quote “What I cannot create, I do not understand”, amalgamated the sentiment that it is okay to build something in order to learn one concept. I have thus far learned that in every new journey to reinvent the wheel, so to speak, often led me to paths where my intuitions about the initial concept got stronger and beyond that, I learned several other concepts.

I would like to get a reasonably good intuition in regards to the total amount of compound DNA from human bodies at different biochemical states, in different locations around the world (different climates). By "compound DNA" I mean, including DNA of bacterium, fungi and viruses living within one's body. For instance, gut bacteria acquired and maintained based on food intake and environmental influence.
