✓

Phenome

All the observable characteristics that make you you — such as skin color, eye color, shoe size, and cholesterol level.

✓

Microbiome

The organisms that coexist within you, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses that help protect you from pathogens, digest food, and produce energy.

✓

Genome

The genetic materials that define you.

✓

Cognition

The way that you think, pay attention, speak, learn, remember, and perceive.

 

 

The complete picture

Cognome
