The Human Microbiome Project (HMP) is following in the footsteps of the Human Genome Project (HGP), which will include exciting discoveries, but also potential disappointment and resentment over the lack of medical applications. There is a wiser path for the HMP. This path includes a greater attention to rare variation, an early commitment to an ethical inclusion of indigenous communities, and a recruitment strategy in which medical benefits are de-emphasized.
人类微生物组计划（HMP）正在追随人类基因组计划（HGP）的脚步，这将包括令人兴奋的发现，但也可能因缺乏医学应用而感到失望和不满。HMP 有一个更明智的选择。这条道路包括更加关注罕见的变异，早期承诺将土著社区纳入其中，并采取一种策略，即淡化医疗福利在招募中的作用。
