US 2021/0265029 A1 · GENERATING MICROBIOME FINGERPRINTS, DIETARY FINGERPRINTS, AND MICROBIOME ANCESTRY

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed herein for generating microbiome fingerprints, dietary fingerprints, and microbiome ancestry. Microbiome data associated with an individual is analyzed to generate a microbiome fingerprint, and a dietary fingerprint for a user. A “microbiome fingerprint” uniquely identifies the microbiome of a user at a particular point in time and is based on a combination of different profiles generated from the microbiome data. The dietary fingerprint identifies how the microbiome of a user is associated with one or more different indexes, such as a dietary index and/or a particular characteristic (e.g., a Mediterranean diet index, a vegetarian diet index, a fast food index, an internal fat index, a fat-digesting index, a carbohydrate-digesting index, a health index, a fasting index, a ketogenic index, . . . ). The microbiome data may also be utilized to determine microbiome ancestry for the user that indicates other users to which the user is related to.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

accessing microbiome data associated with a user;
generating a quantitative taxonomic profile from the microbiome data;
generating a quantitative functional potential profile from the microbiome data;
generating a strain-level genomic profile from the microbiome data;
generating, based on the quantitative taxonomic profile, the quantitative functional potential profile, and the strain-level genomic profile, a microbiome fingerprint that identifies a microbiome of the user at a particular point in time;
and
perform one or more actions utilizing the microbiome fingerprint, wherein the one or more actions include one or more of providing data associated with the microbiome fingerprint to a computing device associated with the user, generating a dietary fingerprint, and generating microbiome ancestry data.

4 more elements

A system, comprising:

a data ingestion service, including one or more processors, configured to
access data associated with a microbiome of a user;
and
a microbiome service, including one or more processors, configured to
generate, based at least in part on the data, microbiome data that includes a microbiome fingerprint associated with the user, wherein the microbiome fingerprint identifies the microbiome of the user;
and
cause one or more actions to be performed, wherein the one or actions include one or more of generating a dietary fingerprint using at least a portion of the microbiome data and generating microbiome ancestry data using at least a second portion of the microbiome data.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

access data associated with a microbiome of a user;
generate, based at least in part on the data, a microbiome fingerprint that identifies the microbiome of the user;
and
cause one or more actions to be performed, wherein the one or actions include one or more of generating a dietary fingerprint using the microbiome fingerprint and generating microbiome ancestry data using the microbiome fingerprint.
