critics argue thatgenetic testing is only as good as reference collection to which a sample is

Critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the reference collections~

这句话翻译的误差来源于对 is only as good as的理解。
意为“只有as后面的条件达成了才是好的”答案是第二种翻译更准确。例句：An idea is only as good as its execution.创意只有实施了才是好创意。
英语是按照分布面积而言最流行的语言，是学习最为广泛的第二语言，还是近60个主权国家的官方语言或官方语言之一。合作的过程中，英语是最常见的翻译语种。

英语翻译技巧
直译法就是按照文字的字面意思直接翻译过来，比如把汉语中的“纸老虎”直译成“paper tiger”，这样看起来不但深明其义，而且觉得很是传神。
另外我们口中的“丢脸”也被直译为“lose face”，“走狗”翻译成了“running dog”。还有经常活跃在国际上，深受国际友人喜爱的 “功夫”也直接音译成“kung fu”，像这样的翻译方法就属于直译法。

only还是很重要的 only as good as 经常用作衡量的意思 Many are only as good as the institution offering it. 担保的可靠性有赖于提供担保的公司，A man is only as good as what he loves.一个人要用他所爱的东西有多好来衡量。 还有黄皮书上的例子the marketing mix is only as good as its weakest part。决定营销组合方案质量优劣的是其最薄弱的环节。黄皮书还是挺权威的 查看原帖>>

The sentence can also be writen like this:

Critics argue that genetic testing is only as good as reference collection which / (that) sample is compared to.

"which" 是后面定语从句的先行词，代替reference collection，从句中作 compare to 中介词to 的宾语, to 放在前边，因此只能用 which， 而不能用 that 。

那些批评者认为所谓的基因检测技术不过如同于用作样品比对的参考资料库而已。
