The limitations of flat biology become obvious when we consider complex diseases. Take type 2 diabetes. A purely genetic view identifies risk alleles, but it cannot predict onset with certainty. A approach, however, layers the patient's genome with their microbiome composition, blood metabolome (sugar, lipids, inflammatory markers), proteome (insulin receptor activity), and environmental exposures (diet, sleep, stress). 360 biology

However, seeing biology in 360 degrees comes with weight. With total visibility comes total exposure. If a 360 biological profile reveals a predisposition to a disease with no cure, or exposes genetic secrets we did not wish to know, the psychological burden is heavy. There is also the risk of bio-determinism—using this panoramic data to discriminate based on one's biological potential. A approach, however, layers the patient's genome with
