How does the test analyse my microbiome?

Sample collection: You provide a sample of your microbiome, a stool sample.

DNA extraction: The microbiome sample is processed to extract the DNA from the microorganisms present in it. This DNA contains valuable information about the composition and diversity of your microbiome.

Sequencing: The extracted DNA is then sequenced using advanced genomic sequencing techniques. This process determines the order of nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA) in the DNA strands extracted from the sample.

Data analysis: The sequenced DNA data is analysed using bioinformatics tools and state-of-the-art algorithms. This analysis helps to identify the different types of microorganisms present in your microbiome and determine their relative abundance.

Report generation: Based on the results of the analysis, myBioma creates a comprehensive report that provides information about the composition, diversity and potential functions of your microbiome. The report contains personalised dietary recommendations to improve gut health based on your microbiome.
