Abstract:
A method for at least one of characterizing, diagnosing and treating a neurological health issue in at least a subject, the method comprising: receiving an aggregate set of biological samples from a population of subjects; generating at least one of a microbiome composition dataset and a microbiome functional diversity dataset for the population of subjects; generating a characterization of the neurological health issue based upon features extracted from at least one of the microbiome composition dataset and the microbiome functional diversity dataset; based upon the characterization, generating a therapy model configured to correct the neurological health issue; and at an output device associated with the subject, promoting a therapy to the subject based upon the characterization and the therapy model.

Abstract:
A method and system for analyzing a microbiome of an individual, comprising: providing a sampling kit to the individual at a location remote from the sample processing network, the sampling kit including a sample container having a lysing component and a sample preservation component and configured to receive a sample from a collection site of the individual; receiving the sample container with the sample from the collection site of the individual; generating a microbiome sequence dataset based upon sequencing nucleic acid content of a microorganism portion of the sample; identifying a set of microorganisms represented in the microorganism portion based upon performance of a mapping operation on portions of the microbiome sequence dataset; generating an analysis based upon a set of features related to the microorganism portion; and transmitting information derived from the analysis to the individual.
Abstract:
A method and system for selection of a primer set for a set of target sequences includes: identifying candidate fragments upon performance of a comparison operation with the set of target sequences; identifying a forward subset of unique forward candidates and a reverse subset of unique reverse candidates; reducing the forward subset and the reverse subset based on a filtering operation; performing an in silico search operation with the reduced forward subset and the reduced reverse subset; generating a set of candidate degenerate primers based on the in silico search operation and a base mismatch criterion; generating a reduced set of candidate degenerate primers upon filtering the set of candidate degenerate primers according to the set of primer criteria; and selecting forward primer subsets that amplify the set of target sequences and identifying a reverse primer subset for each of the forward primer subsets with an in silico PCR operation.
