Gut health and mental health
Research has lead to a richer understanding of the role the gut microbiome plays in mental health, including anxiety and depression.
Metagenomics
Research using metagenomic sequencing can identify all the microorganisms in a sample and sequence all of the genes in the microorganisms for their functional potential.
Gut health and diet
Diet is considered one of the most important and potentially adjustable factors when considering the composition and function of the gut microbiome.
Gut health and probiotics
Research is investigating the role of probiotics in modulating the gut microbiome and their influence on gut health.
