OME Health uses Next Generation Sequencing platforms to analyze genomic and bacterial DNA that makes it possible for us to identify the specific variants in your genome and classify bacteria at the genus (and sometimes species) level in your gut. 

Additionally, we use genotyping by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and specific fluorescent probes to specifically identify particular genetic markers in your genomic DNA. These are the same analysis methods that have been used in major past studies in this area, so it gives us the greatest ability to compare with current research, making your data more relevant.
