With all the excitement around the study of the microbiome, its connection to the other organs (even brain), and role in a wide variety of diseases, I find it a bit daunting how little is understood about the other components of the microbiome beyond bacteria. The presence or absence of a specific phage or any other organism could be just as important if not more than relative balance of bacterial species.

I'm glad that these catalogs are growing and we are getting more datasets like this and the human protein atlas.

Remember when we thought the human genome project was going to "solve biology" :)
