While we provide you with the full taxonomy of what is detected in your sample, our interpretation currently focuses on a subset of key bacteria across 3 categories.
We are able to show you how your relative abundance compares to what is considered an ideal range based on the recommendations of Dr Jason Hawrelak of the Probiotic Advisor.
Probiotics
Bifidobacteria
Lactobacillus
Akkermansia
Roseburia
Faecalibacterium
Blautia
Ruminococcus
Commensals
Bacteroides
Bacteroidetes
Eubacterium
Pathogens
Escherichia coli
Bilophila Wadsworthia
Methanobrevibactor
Desulfovibrio
Proteobacteria
We also include a diversity calculation.
Note that we are in the process of adding the following sections in the coming months and everyone will get access to these additional sections (including FASTQ files from other labs):
- Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) Prodution
- Vitamin and Enzyme Synthesis
- Disease and symptom correlations
- Longevity promotion
We will also expand our bacteria coverage to include the following:
- Metabolite production
- Gram Negative/Positive classification
And finally, we will allow users to compare their bacterial relative abundance to users based on wellness criteria, symptoms and diseases disclosed as per our health questionnaire.
