    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 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: Embodiments of a method and system for characterizing a skin-related condition in relation to a user can include one or more of: a handling network operable to collect containers comprising material from a set of users, the handling network comprising a sequencing system operable to determine microorganism sequences from sequencing the material; a microbiome characterization system operable to: determine at least one of microbiome composition data and microbiome functional diversity data based on the microorganism sequences, collect supplementary data associated with the skin-related condition for the set of users, and transform the supplementary data and the at least one of the microbiome composition data and the microbiome functional diversity data into a characterization model; and a therapy system operable to promote a treatment to the user for the skin-related condition based on characterizing the user with the characterization model in relation to the skin-related condition.
