Microbiome Testing by American Gut

Analyzes your gut sample and attempts to assemble as many genomes as possible from your intestinal bacteria.

• Includes deep characterization of a single stool sample using deep shotgun metagenomic analysis
• Organized by the University of California

Analyzes up to five of your gut samples using RNA expression profiling. This test reports on the types and quantities of bacteria and archaea that are present, and indicates which of their genes are ‘turned on’.

• See your response to probiotic yogurt or to other short-term dietary changes
• Organized by the University of California

Analyzes your gut samples using ultra-deep sequencing to produce a detailed map of your gut microbiome, and assembles the highest number of individual bacterial genomes possible.

• Uses state-of-the-art high-throughput sequencing technology
• Organized by the University of California

Analyzes up to seven of your gut samples over a period of time to report on the variability of your microbiome.

• Includes deep shotgun metagenomic analysis
• Organized by the University of California

Analyzes your gut sample to characterize the bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes present.

• 16S rRNA analysis
• Organized by the University of California

Analyzes four gut samples to show the types and quantities of bacteria and archaea that are present, also provides insights into their gene functions.

• 16S rRNA analysis
• Organized by the University of California
• Option to submit your dog’s sample in place of another person’s

Analyzes a gut sample taken every day for a week to identify the impact of diet and lifestyle on your intestinal bacteria.

• 16S rRNA analysis
• Organized by the University of California

Analyzes four gut samples to show the types and quantities of bacteria and archaea that are present.

• 16S rRNA analysis
• Organized by the University of California
• Option to submit your dog’s sample in place of another person’s

Analyzes three gut samples to show the types and quantities of bacteria and archaea that are present.

• 16S rRNA analysis
• Organized by the University of California
• Option to submit your dog’s sample in place of another person’s

Analyzes two gut samples to show the types and quantities of bacteria and archaea that are present.

• 16S rRNA analysis
• Organized by the University of California
• Option to submit your dog’s sample in place of another person’s

Analyzes two gut samples to show the types and quantities of bacteria and archaea that are present. One person should be a US citizen and the other should be an African, South American or Asian citizen.

• 16S rRNA analysis
• Organized by the University of California

Analyzes your gut sample to show the types and quantities of bacteria and archaea that are present.

• 16S rRNA analysis
• Organized by the University of California

Analyzes your gut sample to show the types and quantities of bacteria and archaea that are present.

• 16S rRNA analysis
