The science behind your results

From your sample to clear next steps.

We identify the bacteria in your sample, organize each result by its evidence-supported role, and rank practical actions by relevance and confidence.

  1. 01 Sample A small at-home swab
  2. 02 Sequence Nearly the full 16S gene
  3. 03 Interpret Species linked to evidence
  4. 04 Act Ranked, practical next steps

Identify

Read the bacterial signal

Identify bacteria at species level.

Organize

Give every result a role

Role depends on evidence.

Every profile includes a consumer summary and a technical report.

Prioritize

Focus on what matters most

The strongest next steps rise to the top.

Every species profile includes a consumer summary and a technical report.

The right data at the right resolution.

Most independently validated microbiome findings are tied to species. We chose the method that connects your sample to that evidence without charging for data that does not improve your next steps.

Short-read 16S

Often stops at genus

Reads only part of the 16S gene. Closely related species can be difficult to distinguish.

Our choice

Long-read 16S

Species-level when supported

Reads nearly the full 16S gene, giving us the resolution needed to connect results to species-level evidence.

Shotgun metagenomics

More data, higher cost

Adds genes, strains and other organisms, but that extra breadth may not change the food actions we can support today.

Often 3 to 4× the price*

RNA / transcriptomics

A moment-in-time signal

Shows gene activity at collection. It is highly time-sensitive and less suited to consistent snapshot tracking.

Often 4× the price*

Pay for evidence you can use. Not data for data's sake.

We prioritize independently validated claims, clear context and practical actions, at a price that makes retesting possible.
