Tests

Compared to Viome, we offer: (1) metagenomic sequencing instead of metatranscriptomic sequencing, which identifies the DNA of all microorganisms in a sample including viruses, fungi, parasites, human DNA, etc. Viome’s technology (metatranscriptomic) looks at the RNA, which is less stable and more reflective of a recent meal (2) much higher specificity so we can differentiate at the strain level (meaning we can tell the difference between strains of E. coli – including finding E. coli 0157:H7) and (3) thorough, easy to read, actionable interventions to optimize the microbiome with a full read-out of what was found in your sample compared to others. These interventions are research-backed. (4) We allow easy sharing of reports between patients and healthcare providers. HCPs can also view results first and release results to their patients.
