ASSESSING GUT HEALTH USING METAGENOME DATA

摘要

Metagenome data can be obtained for a stool sample of the individual. An indication of presence of a microbial species in the stool sample of the individual can be determined based on the metagenome data for each microbial species of a pre-defined set of microbial species. Based on the indications of presence of the microbial species from the pre-defined set of microbial species, a relative presence of microbial species can be determined from a first pre-defined subset of the pre-defined set of microbial species to microbial species from a second pre-defined subset of the pre-defined set of microbial species. An assessment of the gut health of the individual can be provided based on the relative presence of microbial species in the stool sample from the first pre-defined subset to microbial species from the second pre-defined subset.
