- This invention relates generally to the field of microbiology and more specifically to a new and useful method and system for characterizing and/or treating microorganism-related conditions.
- a microbiome is an ecological community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microorganisms that are associated with an organism.
- the human microbiome includes over io times more microbial cells than human cells, but characterization of the human microbiome is still in nascent stages due to limitations in sample processing techniques, genetic analysis techniques, and resources for processing large amounts of data. Nonetheless, the microbiome is suspected to play at least a partial role in a number of health/disease-related states (e.g., preparation for childbirth, diabetes, auto-immune disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, rheumatoid disorders, neurological disorders, etc.).

- embodiments of a method 100 for characterizing one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.) associated with microorganisms can include: generating a microbiome dataset (e.g., microorganism sequence dataset, microbiome composition diversity dataset such as based upon a microorganism sequence dataset, microbiome functional diversity dataset such as based upon a microorganism sequence dataset, etc.) for each of an aggregate set of biological samples associated with a population of subjects, based on sample processing of the biological samples S110; processing a supplementary dataset associated with (e.g., informative of; describing; indicative of; correlated with, etc.) one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.) for the set of users S120; and performing a characterization process for the one or more microorganism- related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions
- Embodiments of the method 100 can additionally or alternatively include one or more of: determining a therapy model for determining therapies for preventing, ameliorating, and/or otherwise modifying one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.) S140; processing one or more biological samples associated with a user (e.g., subject, human, animal, patient, etc.) S150; determining, with the characterization process, a microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) for the user based upon processing a user microbiome dataset (e.g., user microorganism sequence dataset, user microbiome composition dataset, user microbiome function dataset, etc.) derived from the biological sample of the user S160; promoting a therapy for the microorganism-related condition to the user (e.g., based upon the microorganism-related characterization and/or a therapy model; etc.) S170; monitoring
- Embodiments of the method 100 and/or system 200 can function to characterize (e.g., assess, evaluate, diagnose, etc.) and/or treat users in relation to microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.) associated with one or more of: caffeine consumption, alcohol consumption, physical exercise (e.g., extreme physical exercise, moderate physical exercise), menopause, probiotics, habit, diet, Lyme disease, cancer, anemia, and/or other suitable conditions related to microorganisms, such as based on at least one of user microbiome composition (e.g., microbiome composition diversity, etc.), microbiome function (e.g., microbiome functional diversity, etc.), and/or other suitable microbiome-related aspects.
- microorganism-related conditions e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.
- microorganism-related conditions e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.
- microorganism-related conditions e.
- embodiments can function to determine microorganism-related characterizations and/or promote associated therapies in relation to specific physiological sites (e.g., gut, healthy gut, skin, nose, mouth, genitals, other suitable physiological sites, other sample collection sites, etc.).
- specific physiological sites e.g., gut, healthy gut, skin, nose, mouth, genitals, other suitable physiological sites, other sample collection sites, etc.
- embodiments can function to generate models (e.g., microorganism-related characterization models such as behavior characterization models and/or disease characterization models; therapy models; etc.) that can be used to characterize and/or diagnose subjects according to at least one of their microbiome composition and functional features (e.g., as a clinical diagnostic, as a companion diagnostic, etc.), and/or provide therapeutic measures (e.g., probiotic-based therapeutic measures, phage-based therapeutic measures, small-molecule-based therapeutic measures, clinical measures, etc.) to subjects in relation to one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.). Additionally or alternatively, embodiments can perform any suitable functionality described herein.
- models e.g., microorganism-related characterization models such as behavior characterization models and/or disease characterization models; therapy models; etc.
- therapeutic measures e.g., probiotic-based therapeutic measures, phage-based therapeutic measures, small-molecule-based therapeutic measures, clinical measures, etc.
- data from a population of subjects can be used to characterize subjects according to their microbiome composition and/or functional features, indicate states of health and areas of improvement based upon the characterization(s), and promote one or more therapies that can modulate the composition of a subject's microbiome toward one or more of a set of desired equilibrium states (e.g., correlated with improved health states associated with one or more microorganism-related conditions; etc.).

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0004] This invention relates generally to the field of microbiology and more specifically to a new and useful method and system for characterizing and/or treating microorganism-related conditions.
BACKGROUND
[0005] A microbiome is an ecological community of commensal, symbiotic, and pathogenic microorganisms that are associated with an organism. The human microbiome includes over io times more microbial cells than human cells, but characterization of the human microbiome is still in nascent stages due to limitations in sample processing techniques, genetic analysis techniques, and resources for processing large amounts of data. Nonetheless, the microbiome is suspected to play at least a partial role in a number of health/disease-related states (e.g., preparation for childbirth, diabetes, auto-immune disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, rheumatoid disorders, neurological disorders, etc.). Given the profound implications of the microbiome in affecting a subject's health, efforts related to the characterization of the microbiome, the generation of insights from the characterization, and the generation of therapeutics configured to rectify states of dysbiosis should be pursued. Current methods and systems for analyzing the microbiomes of humans and providing therapeutic measures based on gained insights have, however, left many questions unanswered. In particular, methods for characterizing certain health conditions and therapies (e.g., probiotic therapies) tailored to specific subjects based upon microbiome composition and/or functional features have not been viable due to limitations in current technologies.
[0006] As such, there is a need in the field of microbiology for a new and useful method and system for characterizing health conditions in an individualized and population-wide manner. This invention creates such a new and useful method and system.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0016] The following description of the embodiments of the invention is not intended to limit the invention to these embodiments, but rather to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use this invention.
1. Overview
[0017] As shown in FIGURES 1A-1B, embodiments of a method 100 for characterizing one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.) associated with microorganisms can include: generating a microbiome dataset (e.g., microorganism sequence dataset, microbiome composition diversity dataset such as based upon a microorganism sequence dataset, microbiome functional diversity dataset such as based upon a microorganism sequence dataset, etc.) for each of an aggregate set of biological samples associated with a population of subjects, based on sample processing of the biological samples S110; processing a supplementary dataset associated with (e.g., informative of; describing; indicative of; correlated with, etc.) one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.) for the set of users S120; and performing a characterization process for the one or more microorganism- related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.), based on the supplementary dataset and microbiome features (e.g., microbiome composition features such as microbiome composition diversity features; microbiome functional features such as microbiome functional diversity features; microbiome pharmacogenomics features; etc.) extracted from the microbiome dataset S130.
[0018] Embodiments of the method 100 can additionally or alternatively include one or more of: determining a therapy model for determining therapies for preventing, ameliorating,
and/or otherwise modifying one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.) S140; processing one or more biological samples associated with a user (e.g., subject, human, animal, patient, etc.) S150; determining, with the characterization process, a microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) for the user based upon processing a user microbiome dataset (e.g., user microorganism sequence dataset, user microbiome composition dataset, user microbiome function dataset, etc.) derived from the biological sample of the user S160; promoting a therapy for the microorganism-related condition to the user (e.g., based upon the microorganism-related characterization and/or a therapy model; etc.) S170; monitoring effectiveness of the therapy for the user, based upon processing biological samples, to assess microbiome composition and/or functional features associated with the therapy for the user over time S180; and/or any other suitable operations.
[0019] Embodiments of the method 100 and/or system 200 can function to characterize (e.g., assess, evaluate, diagnose, etc.) and/or treat users in relation to microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.) associated with one or more of: caffeine consumption, alcohol consumption, physical exercise (e.g., extreme physical exercise, moderate physical exercise), menopause, probiotics, habit, diet, Lyme disease, cancer, anemia, and/or other suitable conditions related to microorganisms, such as based on at least one of user microbiome composition (e.g., microbiome composition diversity, etc.), microbiome function (e.g., microbiome functional diversity, etc.), and/or other suitable microbiome-related aspects. Additionally or alternatively, embodiments can function to determine microorganism-related characterizations and/or promote associated therapies in relation to specific physiological sites (e.g., gut, healthy gut, skin, nose, mouth, genitals, other suitable physiological sites, other sample collection sites, etc.). Additionally or alternatively, embodiments can function to generate models (e.g., microorganism-related characterization models such as behavior characterization models and/or disease characterization models; therapy models; etc.) that can be used to characterize and/or diagnose subjects according to at least one of their microbiome composition and functional features (e.g., as a clinical diagnostic, as a companion diagnostic, etc.), and/or provide therapeutic measures (e.g., probiotic-based therapeutic measures, phage-based therapeutic measures, small-molecule-based therapeutic measures, clinical measures, etc.) to subjects in relation to one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.). Additionally or alternatively, embodiments can perform any suitable functionality described herein.
[0020] As such, data from a population of subjects can be used to characterize subjects according to their microbiome composition and/or functional features, indicate states of health and areas of improvement based upon the characterization(s), and promote one or more therapies that can modulate the composition of a subject's microbiome toward one or more of a set of desired equilibrium states (e.g., correlated with improved health states associated with one or more microorganism-related conditions; etc.). Variations of the method 100 can further facilitate monitoring and/or adjusting of therapies provided to a subject, for instance, through reception, processing, and analysis of additional samples from a subject over time (e.g., throughout the course of a therapy regimen, through the extent of a user's experiences with microorganism-related conditions; etc.), which can facilitate therapy efficacy monitoring and/or therapy adjustment, microbiome characterization and/or related therapies over time, and/or performance of any suitable portion of the method 100 (e.g., over time, etc.).
[0021] Embodiments of the method 100 and/or system 200 can preferably generate and/or promote (e.g., provide) characterizations and/or therapies for one or more microorganism- related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.), which can include one or more of: behaviors (e.g., caffeine consumption, habits, diets, etc.), symptoms, causes (e.g., triggers, etc.), diseases, disorders, associated risk, associated severity, and/or any other suitable aspects associated with microorganism-related conditions. Microorganism-related conditions can include one or more human behavior conditions which can include any one or more of: caffeine consumption, alcohol consumption, other food item consumption, dietary supplement consumption, probiotic-related behaviors (e.g., consumption, avoidance, etc.), other dietary behaviors, habituary behaviors (e.g., smoking; exercise conditions such as low, moderate, and/or extreme exercise conditions; etc.), menopause, other biological processes, social behavior, other behaviors, and/or any other suitable human behavior conditions. Additionally or alternatively, microorganism-related conditions can include one or more disease-related conditions, which can include any one or more of: cancer conditions (e.g., lymphoma; leukemia; blastoma; germ cell tumor; carcinoma; sarcoma; breast cancer; prostate cancer; basal cell cancer; skin cancer; colon cancer; lung cancer; cancer conditions associated with any suitable physiological region; etc.), anemia conditions (e.g., thalassemia; sickle cell; pernicious; fanconi; haemolyitic; aplastic; iron deficiency; etc.), Lyme disease conditions, psychiatric and behavioral conditions, communication-related conditions, sleep-related conditions, a cardiovascular-related condition, metabolic-related conditions, rheumatoid-related conditions, weight-related
conditions, pain-related conditions, endocrine-related conditions, genetic-related conditions, chronic disease, and/or any other suitable type of disease-related conditions.
[0022] Embodiments of the method 100 and/or system 200 can be implemented for a single user for whom microbiome characterization and/or microbiome modulation with therapeutics is of interest, and/or can additionally or alternatively be implemented for a population of subjects (e.g., including the user, excluding the users), where the population of subjects can include other users dissimilar to and/or similar to the user (e.g., in health condition, in dietary needs, in demographic features, in behavior, in microbiome composition and/or function, etc.); for a subgroup of users (e.g., sharing characteristics, such as characteristics affecting microbiome characterization and/or therapy determination; etc.). Thus, information derived from a set of users (e.g., population of subjects, set of subjects, subgroup of users, etc.) can be used to provide additional insight into connections between behaviors of a subject and effects on the patient's microbiome, due to aggregation of data from the set of users. In a variation, an aggregate set of biological samples is preferably received from a wide variety of users, collectively including users of one or more of: different demographics (e.g., genders, ages, marital statuses, ethnicities, nationalities, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, etc.), different health conditions (e.g., health and disease states; different microorganism-related conditions; different genetic dispositions; etc.), different living situations (e.g., living alone, living with pets, living with a significant other, living with children, etc.), different dietary habits (e.g., omnivorous, vegetarian, vegan, sugar consumption, acid consumption, caffeine consumption, etc.), different behavioral tendencies (e.g., levels of physical activity, drug use, alcohol use, etc.), different levels of mobility (e.g., related to distance traveled within a given time period), and/or any other suitable trait (e.g., behaviors, such as human behavior conditions, etc.) associated with (e.g., has an effect on, etc.) microbiome composition and/or functional features. As such, as the number of users increases, the predictive power of processes implemented in portions of the method 100 can increase, such as in relation to characterizing a variety of users based upon their microbiomes. However, the method 100 can involve generation of characterization and therapies derived from biological sample data from any other suitable group of users.
[0023] Data described herein (e.g., sequence data, microbiome composition features, microbiome functional features, microorganism-related characterizations therapy determinations, etc.) can be associated with any suitable temporal indicators (e.g., seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, etc.) including one or more: temporal indicators indicating when the data was collected (e.g., temporal indicators indicating when a sample was collected; etc.),
determined, transmitted, received, and/or otherwise processed; temporal indicators providing context to content described by the data (e.g., temporal indicators associated with microorganism-related characterizations, such as where the microorganism-related characterization describes the microorganism-related conditions and/or user microbiome status at a particular time; etc.); changes in temporal indicators (e.g., changes in microorganism-related characterizations over time, such as in response to receiving a therapy; latency between sample collection, sample analysis, provision of a microorganism-related characterization or therapy to a user, and/or other suitable portions of the method 100; etc.); and/ or any other suitable indicators related to time.
[0024] Additionally or alternatively, parameters, metrics, inputs, outputs, and/or other suitable data can be associated with value types including: scores (e.g., microbiome diversity scores; aggregate microbiome scores based on individual microbiome scores for different collection sites; risk scores for microorganism-related conditions; severity scores for microorganism-related conditions; microbiome composition diversity scores; microbiome functional diversity scores; etc.), binary values (e.g., presence or absence of a microbiome feature; presence or absence of a microorganism-related condition; etc.), relative values (e.g., relative taxonomic group abundance, relative microbiome function abundance, relative feature abundance, etc.), classifications (e.g., microorganism-related condition classifications for different types of behaviors and/or diseases; demographic classifications; etc.), confidence levels (e.g., associated with microorganism sequence datasets; with microbiome diversity scores; with other microorganism-related characterizations; with other outputs; etc.), values along a spectrum, and/or any other suitable types of values. Any suitable types of data described herein can be used as inputs (e.g., for different models described herein), generated as outputs (e.g., of different models), and/or manipulated in any suitable manner for any suitable components associated with the method 100 and/or system 200.
[0025] One or more instances and/or portions of the method 100 and/or processes described herein can be performed asynchronously (e.g., sequentially), concurrently (e.g., multiplex sample processing, such as multiplex amplification of microorganism nucleic acid fragments corresponding to target sequences associated with microorganism-related conditions; performing sample processing and analysis for substantially concurrently evaluating a panel of microorganism-related conditions; computationally determining microbiome datasets, microbiome features, and/or microorganism-related conditions in parallel for a plurality of users, such as concurrently on different threads for parallel computing to improve system processing ability; etc.), in temporal relation (e.g., substantially concurrently with, in response
to, serially, prior to, subsequent to, etc.) to a trigger event (e.g., performance of a portion of the method 100), and/or in any other suitable order at any suitable time and frequency by and/or using one or more instances of the system 200, components, and/or entities described herein. For example, the method 100 can include generating a microorganism sequence dataset based on processing microorganism nucleic acids of a biological sample with a bridge amplification substrate of a next generation sequencing platform of a sample handling system, and determining microbiome composition diversity features and microbiome functional diversity features at computing devices operable to communicate with the next generation sequencing platform.
[0026] As shown in FIGURE 2, embodiments of the system 200 can include any one or more of: a handling system (e.g., a sample handling system, etc.) operable to collect biological samples (e.g., collected by users and included in containers including pre-processing reagents; etc.) from one or more users (e.g., a human subject, patient, animal subject, environmental ecosystem, care provider, etc.), the handling system including a sequencing platform (e.g., next-generation sequencing platform) operable to determine a microorganism sequence dataset for the one or more users from the biological samples; a microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) system operable to: determine user microbiome features (e.g., microbiome composition features; microbiome functional features; diversity features; relative abundance ranges; etc.) based on the microorganism sequence dataset (and/or other suitable data described herein), and determine microorganism-related characterizations (e.g., human behavior characterizations, disease-related characterizations, based on the user microbiome features; etc.) and/or a treatment system operable to promote a therapy for one or more microorganism-related conditions based on the microorganism-related characterization. However, the method 100 and/or system 200 can be configured in any suitable manner.
2. Benefits.
[0027] Microbiome analysis can enable accurate and/or efficient characterization and/or therapy provision (e.g., according to portions of the method 100, etc.) for microorganism- related conditions caused by and/or otherwise associated with microorganisms. The technology can overcome several challenges faced by conventional approaches in characterizing a user condition (e.g., microorganism-related condition) and/or promoting associated therapies. First, conventional approaches can require patients to visit one or more care providers to receive a characterization and/or a therapy recommendation for a microorganism-related condition (e.g., through diagnostic medical procedures such as blood
testing; etc.), which can amount to inefficiencies and/or health-risks associated with the amount of time elapsed before diagnosis and/or treatment, with inconsistency in healthcare quality, and/or with other aspects of care provider visitation. Second, conventional genetic sequencing and analysis technologies for human genome sequencing can be incompatible and/or inefficient when applied to the microbiome (e.g., where the human microbiome can include over 10 times more microbial cells than human cells; where optimal sample processing techniques can differ, such as for reducing amplification bias; where different approaches to microorganism-related characterizations can be employed; where the types of conditions and correlations can differ; where sequence reference databases can differ; where the microbiome can vary across different body regions of the user; etc.). Third, the onset of sequencing technologies (e.g., next-generation sequencing) has given rise to technological issues (e.g., data processing and analysis issues for the plethora of generated sequence data; issues with processing a plurality of biological samples in a multiplex manner; information display issues; therapy prediction issues, therapy provision issues, etc.) that would not exist but for the unprecedented advances in speed and data generation associated with sequencing genetic material. Specific examples of the method 100 and/or system 200 can confer technologically- rooted solutions to at least the challenges described above.
[0028] First, the technology can transform entities (e.g., users, biological samples, treatment systems including medical devices, etc.) into different states or things. For example, the technology can transform a biological sample into components able to be sequenced and analyzed for characterizing users in relation to microorganism-related conditions (e.g., using next-generation sequencing systems; multiplex amplification operations; etc.). In another example, the technology can identify therapies (e.g., personalized therapies based on a microbiome characterization; etc.) to promote to a user to modify a microbiome composition (e.g., composition diversity), microbiome function (e.g., functional diversity) and/or other microbiome-related aspects to prevent and/or ameliorate one or more microorganism-related conditions, thereby transforming the microbiome and/or health of the patient (e.g., improving a health state associated with a microorganism-related condition; etc.). In another example, the technology can transform microbiome composition and/or function at one or more different physiological sites of a user, such as targeting and/or transforming microorganisms associated with a gut, nose, skin, mouth, and/or genitals microbiome. In another example, the technology can control treatment-related systems (e.g., automated medication dispensers; behavior modification systems; diagnostic systems; disease treatment systems; etc.) to
promote therapies (e.g., by generating control instructions for the treatment system to execute; etc.), thereby transforming the treatment system.
[0029] Second, the technology can confer improvements in computer-related technology (e.g., modeling associated with characterizing and/or promoting therapies for microorganism- related conditions; improving computational efficiency in storing, retrieving, and/or processing microorganism-related data for microorganism-related conditions; computational processing associated with biological sample processing; etc.) by facilitating computer performance of functions not previously performable. For example, the technology can computationally generate microorganism-related characterizations and/or recommended therapies associated with microbiome analysis based on techniques (e.g., leveraging microorganism taxonomic databases, etc.) that are recently viable due to advances in sample processing techniques and/or sequencing technology.
[0030] Third, the technology can confer improvements in processing speed, microorganism- related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) accuracy, microbiome-related therapy determination and promotion, and/or other suitable aspects in relation to microorganism-related conditions. For example, the technology can generate and apply feature-selection rules (e.g., microbiome feature- selection rules for composition, function; for supplemental features extracted from supplementary datasets; etc.) to select an optimized subset of features (e.g., microbiome composition diversity features such as reference relative abundance features indicative of healthy, presence, absence, and/or other suitable ranges of taxonomic groups associated with microorganism-related conditions; user relative abundance features that can be compared to reference relative abundance features correlated with microorganism-related conditions and/or therapy responses; etc.) out of a vast potential pool of features (e.g., extractable from the plethora of microbiome data such as sequence data) for generating and/or applying characterization models and/or therapy models. The potential size of microbiomes (e.g., human microbiomes, animal microbiomes, etc.) can translate into a plethora of data, giving rise to questions of how to process and analyze the vast array of data to generate actionable microbiome insights in relation to microorganism-related conditions. However, the feature- selection rules and/or other suitable computer-implementable rules can enable one or more of: shorter generation and execution times (e.g., for generating and/or applying models; for determining microorganism-related characterizations and/or associated therapies; etc.); optimized sample processing techniques (e.g., improving transformation of microorganism nucleic acids from biological samples through using primer types, other biomolecules, and/or
other sample processing components identified through computational analysis of taxonomic groups, sequences, and/or other suitable data associated with microorganism-related conditions, such as while optimizing for improving specificity, reducing amplification bias, and/or other suitable parameters; etc.); model simplification facilitating efficient interpretation of results; reduction in overfitting; network effects associated with generating, storing, and applying microbiome characterizations for a plurality of users over time in relation to microorganism-related conditions (e.g., through collecting and processing an increasing amount of microbiome-related data associated with an increasing number of users to improve predictive power of the microorganism-related characterizations and/or therapy determinations; etc.); improvements in data storage and retrieval (e.g., storing specific models such as in association with different users and/or sets of users; storing microbiome datasets in association with user accounts; storing therapy monitoring data in association with one or more therapies and/or users receiving the therapies; storing features, microorganism-related characterizations, and/or other suitable data in association with a user and/or set of users to improve delivery of personalized characterizations and/or treatments for the microorganism- related conditions, etc.), and/or other suitable improvements to technological areas.
[0031] Fourth, the technology can amount to an inventive distribution of functionality across a network including a sample handling system, a microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) system, and a plurality of users, where the sample handling system can handle substantially concurrent processing of biological samples (e.g., in a multiplex manner) from the plurality of users, which can be leveraged by the microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) system in generating personalized characterizations and/or therapies (e.g., customized to the user's microbiome such as in relation to the user's dietary behavior, probiotics-associated behavior, medical history, demographics, other behaviors, preferences, etc.) for microorganism-related conditions.
[0032] Fifth, the technology can improve the technical fields of at least microbiome-related digital medicine, digital medicine generally, genetic sequencing, modeling (e.g., of microorganism-related conditions such as human behavior conditions and disease-related conditions; etc.) and/or other relevant fields. Sixth, the technology can leverage specialized computing devices (e.g., devices associated with the sample handling system, such as next- generation sequencing platforms; microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) systems; treatment systems; etc.) in determining and processing microbiome datasets in relation to microorganism-related
characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) and/or therapy provision. The technology can, however, provide any other suitable benefit(s) in the context of using non-generalized computer systems for microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.), microbiome modulation, and/or for performing other suitable portions of the method 100. 3.1 Generating a microbiome dataset.
[0033] Block S110 recites: generating a microbiome dataset (e.g., microorganism sequence dataset, microbiome composition diversity dataset, microbiome functional diversity dataset, etc.) for each of an aggregate set of biological samples associated with a population of users (e.g., subjects), based on sample processing of the biological samples. Block S110 functions to process each of an aggregate set of biological samples (e.g., associated with a population of subjects, a subpopulation of subjects, a subgroup of subjects sharing a demographic characteristic and/or other suitable characteristics, etc.), in order to determine compositional, functional, pharmacogenomics, and/or other suitable aspects associated with the microbiomes of the users, such as in relation to one or more microorganism-related conditions. Compositional and/or functional aspects can include one or more of aspects at the microorganism level (and/or other suitable granularity), including parameters related to distribution of microorganisms across different groups of kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, species, subspecies, strains, and/or any other suitable infraspecies taxon (e.g., as measured in total abundance of each group, relative abundance of each group, total number of groups represented, etc.). Compositional and/or functional aspects can also be represented in terms of operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Compositional and/or functional aspects can additionally or alternatively include compositional aspects at the genetic level (e.g., regions determined by multilocus sequence typing, 16S sequences, 18S sequences, ITS sequences, other genetic markers, other phylogenetic markers, etc.). Compositional and functional aspects can include the presence or absence or the quantity of genes associated with specific functions (e.g. enzyme activities, transport functions, immune activities, etc.). Outputs of Block S110 can thus be used to provide features of interest for the characterization process of Block S130 and/or other suitable portions of the method 100 (e.g., where Block S110 can lead to outputs of microbiome composition datasets, microbiome functional datasets, and/or other suitable microbiome datasets from which microbiome features can be extracted, etc.), where the features can be microorganism-based (e.g., presence of a genus of bacteria), genetic-based (e.g., based upon representation of specific genetic regions and/or sequences) and/or functional-based (e.g., presence of a specific catalytic activity).

Additionally or alternatively, markers can include target sequences (e.g., sequences associated with a microorganism taxonomic group; sequences associated with functional aspects; sequences correlated with microorganism-related conditions; sequences indicative of user responsiveness to different therapies; sequences that are invariant across a population and/or any suitable set of subjects, such as to facilitate multiplex amplification using a primer type sharing a primer sequence; conserved sequences; sequences including mutations, polymorphisms; nucleotide sequences; amino acid sequences; etc.), proteins (e.g., serum proteins, antibodies, etc.), peptides, carbohydrates, lipids, other nucleic acids, whole cells, metabolites, natural products, genetic predisposition biomarkers, diagnostic biomarkers, prognostic biomarkers, predictive biomarkers, other molecular biomarkers, gene expression markers, imaging biomarkers, and/or other suitable markers. However, markers can include any other suitable marker(s) associated with microbiome composition, microbiome functionality, and/or microorganism-related conditions.

In an example, Block Siio can include: collecting biological samples from a set of users (e.g., biological samples collected by the user with a sampling kit including a sample container, etc.), where the biological samples include microorganism nucleic acids associated with the microorganism-related condition (e.g., microorganism nucleic acids including target sequences correlated with a microorganism- related condition; etc.). In another example, Block Siio can include providing a set of sampling kits to a set of users, each sampling kit of the set of sampling kits including a sample container (e.g., including pre-processing reagents, such as lysing reagents; etc.) operable to receive a biological sample from a user of the set of users.
[0037] In variations, lysing a biological sample and/or disrupting membranes in cells of a biological sample preferably includes physical methods (e.g., bead beating, nitrogen decompression, homogenization, sonication), which omit certain reagents that produce bias in representation of certain bacterial groups upon sequencing. Additionally or alternatively, lysing or disrupting in Block Siio can involve chemical methods (e.g., using a detergent, using a solvent, using a surfactant, etc.). Additionally or alternatively, lysing or disrupting in Block Siio can involve biological methods. In variations, separation of undesired elements can include removal of RNA using RNases and/or removal of proteins using proteases.

Thus, universal primers (e.g., a F27-R338 primer set for 16S RNA, a F515-R806 primer set for 16S RNA, etc.) configured to avoid amplification bias can be used in amplification. Additionally or alternatively include incorporated barcode sequences and/or UMIsspecific to biological samples, to users, to microorganism-related conditions, to taxa, to target sequences, and/or to any other suitable components, which can facilitate a post- sequencing identification process (e.g., for mapping sequence reads to microbiome composition and/or microbiome function aspects; etc.).

Additionally or alternatively, Block S110 can implement any other step configured to facilitate processing (e.g., using a Nextera kit). In a specific example, performing amplification and/or sample processing operations can be in a multiplex manner (e.g., for a single biological sample, for a plurality of biological samples across multiple users; etc.). In another specific example, performing amplification can include normalization steps to balance libraries and detect all amplicons in a mixture independent of the amount of starting material, such as 3 step PCR, bead based normalization, etc.

[0040] In a specific example, amplification and sequencing of nucleic acids from biological samples of the set of biological samples includes: solid-phase PCR involving bridge amplification of DNA fragments of the biological samples on a substrate with oligo adapters, where amplification involves primers having a forward index sequence (e.g., corresponding to an Illumina forward index for MiSeq/NextSeq/HiSeq platforms), a forward barcode sequence, a transposase sequence (e.g., corresponding to a transposase binding site for MiSeq/NextSeq/HiSeq platforms), a linker (e.g., a zero, one, or two-base fragment configured to reduce homogeneity and improve sequence results), an additional random base, UMIs, a sequence for targeting a specific target region (e.g., 16S region, 18S region, ITS region), a reverse index sequence (e.g., corresponding to an Illumina reverse index for MiSeq/HiSeq platforms), and a reverse barcode sequence. In the specific example, sequencing can include Illumina sequencing (e.g., with a HiSeq platform, with a MiSeq platform, with a NextSeq platform, etc.) using a sequencing-by-synthesis technique. In another specific example, the method 100 can include: identifying one or more primer types compatible with one or more genetic targets associated with one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior conditions, disease-related conditions, etc.); generating a microorganism dataset (e.g., microorganism sequence dataset, etc.) for one or more users (e.g., set of subjects) based on the one or more primer types (e.g., and the microorganism nucleic acids included in collected biological samples, etc.), such as through fragmenting the microorganism nucleic acids, and and/or performing multiplex amplification with the fragmented microorganism nucleic acids based on the one or more identified primer types compatible with the genetic target associated with the human behavior condition; and/or promoting (e.g., providing), based on a microbiome characterization derived from the a microorganism dataset a therapy for the user condition (e.g., enabling selective modulation of a microbiome of the user in relation to at least one of a population size of a desired taxon and a desired microbiome function, etc.).
[0041] In variations, primers (e.g., of a primer type corresponding to a primer sequence; etc.) used in Block Sno and/or other suitable portions of the method 100 can include primers associated with protein genes (e.g., coding for conserved protein gene sequences across a plurality of taxa, such as to enable multiplex amplification for a plurality of targets and/or taxa; etc.). Primers can additionally or alternatively be associated with microorganism-related conditions (e.g., primers compatible with genetic targets including microorganism sequence biomarkers for microorganisms correlated with microorganism-related conditions such as human behavior conditions and/or disease-related conditions; etc.), microbiome composition
features (e.g., identified primers compatible with a genetic target corresponding to microbiome composition features associated with a group of taxa correlated with a microorganism-related condition; genetic sequences from which relative abundance features are derived etc.), functional diversity features, supplementary features, and/or other suitable features and/or data. Primers (and/or other suitable molecules, markers, and/or biological material described herein) can possess any suitable size (e.g., sequence length, number of base pairs, conserved sequence length, variable region length, etc.). Additionally or alternatively, any suitable number of primers can be used in sample processing for performing characterizations (e.g., microorganism-related characterizations; etc.), improving sample processing (e.g., through reducing amplification bias, etc.), and/or for any suitable purposes. The primers can be associated with any suitable number of targets, sequences, taxa, conditions, and/or other suitable aspects. Primers used in Block Sno and/or other suitable portions of the method 100 can be selected through processes described in Block Sno (e.g., primer selection based on parameters used in generating the taxonomic database) and/or any other suitable portions of the method 100. In an example, Block Sno can include: identifying a primer type for a microorganism nucleic acid sequence associated with the microorganism-related condition (e.g., a primer type for a primer operable to amplify microorganism nucleic acid sequences correlated with a microorganism-related condition; etc.); and generating the microorganism sequence dataset based on the primer type and the microorganism nucleic acids (e.g., using primers of the primer type for amplification of microorganism nucleic acids; and sequencing the amplified nucleic acids to generate the microorganism sequence dataset; etc.). In a specific example, Block Sno can include: fragmenting the microorganism nucleic acids; and performing multiplex amplification with the fragmented microorganism nucleic acids based on the fragmented microorganism nucleic acids and the identified primer type associated with the microorganism-related condition. Additionally or alternatively, primers (and/or processes associated with primers) can include and/or be analogous to that described in U.S. App. No. 14/919,614, filed 21-OCT-2015, which is herein incorporated in its entirety by this reference. However, identification and/or usage of primers can be configured in any suitable manner.
[0042] Some variations of sample processing can include further purification of amplified nucleic acids (e.g., PCR products) prior to sequencing, which functions to remove excess amplification elements (e.g., primers, dNTPs, enzymes, salts, etc.). In examples, additional purification can be facilitated using any one or more of: purification kits, buffers, alcohols, pH indicators, chaotropic salts, nucleic acid binding filters, centrifugation, and/or any other suitable purification technique.
[0043] In variations, computational processing in Block Sno can include any one or more of: identification of microbiome-derived sequences (e.g., as opposed to subject sequences and contaminants), alignment and mapping of microbiome-derived sequences (e.g., alignment of fragmented sequences using one or more of single-ended alignment, ungapped alignment, gapped alignment, pairing), and generating features associated with (e.g., derived from) compositional and/or functional aspects of the microbiome associated with a biological sample.
[0044] Identification of microbiome-derived sequences can include mapping of sequence data from sample processing to a subject reference genome (e.g., provided by the Genome Reference Consortium), in order to remove subject genome-derived sequences. Unidentified sequences remaining after mapping of sequence data to the subject reference genome can then be further clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs) based upon sequence similarity and/or reference-based approaches (e.g., using VAMPS, using MG-RAST, using QIIME databases), aligned (e.g., using a genome hashing approach, using a Needleman-Wunsch algorithm, using a Smith-Waterman algorithm), and mapped to reference bacterial genomes (e.g., provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information), using an alignment algorithm (e.g., Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, FPGA accelerated alignment tool, BWT- indexing with BWA, BWT-indexing with SOAP, BWT-indexing with Bowtie, etc.). Mapping of unidentified sequences can additionally or alternatively include mapping to reference archaeal genomes, viral genomes and/or eukaryotic genomes. Furthermore, mapping of taxons can be performed in relation to existing databases, and/or in relation to custom-generated databases.
[0045] Upon identification of represented groups of microorganisms of the microbiome associated with a biological sample, generating features associated with (e.g., derived from) compositional and functional aspects of the microbiome associated with a biological sample can be performed. In a variation, generating features can include generating features based upon multilocus sequence typing (MSLT), in order to identify markers useful for characterization in subsequent blocks of the method 100. Additionally or alternatively, generated features can include generating features that describe the presence or absence of certain taxonomic groups of microorganisms, and/or ratios between exhibited taxonomic groups of microorganisms. Additionally or alternatively, generating features can include generating features describing one or more of: quantities of represented taxonomic groups, networks of represented taxonomic groups, correlations in representation of different taxonomic groups, interactions between different taxonomic groups, products produced by different taxonomic groups, interactions between products produced by different taxonomic
groups, ratios between dead and alive microorganisms (e.g., for different represented taxonomic groups, based upon analysis of RNAs), phylogenetic distance (e.g., in terms of Kantorovich-Rubinstein distances, Wasserstein distances etc.), any other suitable taxonomic group-related feature(s), any other suitable genetic or functional aspect(s).
[0046] Additionally or alternatively, generating features can include generating features describing relative abundance of different microorganism groups, for instance, using a sparCC approach, using Genome Relative Abundance and Average size (GAAS) approach and/or using a Genome Relative Abundance using Mixture Model theory (GRAMMy) approach that uses sequence-similarity data to perform a maximum likelihood estimation of the relative abundance of one or more groups of microorganisms. Additionally or alternatively, generating features can include generating statistical measures of taxonomic variation, as derived from abundance metrics. Additionally or alternatively, generating features can include generating features associated with (e.g., derived from) relative abundance factors (e.g., in relation to changes in abundance of a taxon, which affects abundance of other taxons). Additionally or alternatively, generating features can include generation of qualitative features describing presence of one or more taxonomic groups, in isolation and/or in combination. Additionally or alternatively, generating features can include generation of features related to genetic markers (e.g., representative 16S, 18S, and/or ITS sequences) characterizing microorganisms of the microbiome associated with a biological sample. Additionally or alternatively, generating features can include generation of features related to functional associations of specific genes and/or organisms having the specific genes. Additionally or alternatively, generating features can include generation of features related to pathogenicity of a taxon and/or products attributed to a taxon. Block S120 can, however, include generation of any other suitable feature(s) derived from sequencing and mapping of nucleic acids of a biological sample. For instance, the feature(s) can be combinatory (e.g. involving pairs, triplets), correlative (e.g., related to correlations between different features), and/or related to changes in features (e.g., temporal changes, changes across sample sites, etc., spatial changes, etc.). However, processing biological samples, generating a microbiome dataset, and/or other aspects associated with Block S110 can be performed in any suitable manner.
3.2 Processing a supplementary dataset.
[0047] Block S120 recites: processing (e.g., receiving, collecting, transforming, etc.) a supplementary dataset associated with (e.g., informative of; describing; indicative of; etc.) one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., human behavior condition such as associated with user behavior; disease related condition such as associated medical history, symptoms,
medications; etc.) for the set of users. Block S120 can function to acquire data associated with one or more subjects of the set of subjects, which can be used to train, validate, apply, and/or otherwise inform the microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) process (e.g., in Block S130). In Block S120, the supplementary dataset preferably includes survey-derived data, but can additionally or alternatively include any one or more of: contextual data derived from sensors (e.g., wearable device data, etc.), medical data (e.g., current and historical medical data; medical device-derived data; data associated with medical tests; etc.), social media data, mobile phone data (e.g., mobile phone application data, etc.), web application data, and/or any other suitable type of data. In variations of Block S120 including reception of survey-derived data, the survey- derived data preferably provides physiological, demographic, and behavioral information in association with a subject. Physiological information can include information related to physiological features (e.g., height, weight, body mass index, body fat percent, body hair level, etc.). Demographic information can include information related to demographic features (e.g., gender, age, ethnicity, marital status, number of siblings, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, etc.). Behavioral information can include information related to one or more of: health conditions (e.g., health and disease states), living situations (e.g., living alone, living with pets, living with a significant other, living with children, etc.), dietary habits (e.g., alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption, omnivorous, vegetarian, vegan, sugar consumption, acid consumption, consumption of wheat, egg, soy, treenut, peanut, shellfish, and/or other suitable food items, etc.), behavioral tendencies (e.g., levels of physical activity, drug use, alcohol use, habit development, etc.), different levels of mobility (e.g., amount of exercise such as low, moderate, and/or extreme physical exercise activity; related to distance traveled within a given time period; indicated by mobility sensors such as motion and/or location sensors; etc.), different levels of sexual activity (e.g., related to numbers of partners and sexual orientation), and any other suitable behavioral information. Survey-derived data can include quantitative data and/or qualitative data that can be converted to quantitative data (e.g., using scales of severity, mapping of qualitative responses to quantified scores, etc.).
[0048] In facilitating reception of survey-derived data, Block S130 can include providing one or more surveys to a subject of the population of subjects, or to an entity associated with a subject of the population of subjects. Surveys can be provided in person (e.g., in coordination with sample provision and reception from a subject), electronically (e.g., during account setup by a subject, at an application executing at an electronic device of a subject, at a web application accessible through an internet connection, etc.), and/or in any other suitable manner.
[0049] Additionally or alternatively, portions of the supplementary dataset can be derived from sensors associated with the subject(s) (e.g., sensors of wearable computing devices, sensors of mobile devices, biometric sensors associated with the user, etc.). As such, Block S130 can include receiving one or more of: physical activity- or physical action-related data (e.g., accelerometer and gyroscope data from a mobile device or wearable electronic device of a subject), environmental data (e.g., temperature data, elevation data, climate data, light parameter data, etc.), patient nutrition or diet-related data (e.g., data from food establishment check-ins, data from spectrophotometric analysis, user-inputted data, nutrition data associated with probiotic and/or prebiotic food items, types of food consumed, amount of food consumed, diets, etc.), biometric data (e.g., data recorded through sensors within the patient's mobile computing device, data recorded through a wearable or other peripheral device in communication with the patient's mobile computing device), location data (e.g., using GPS elements), and any other suitable data. In variations, sensor data can include data sampled at one or more: optical sensors (e.g., image sensors, light sensors, etc.), audio sensors, temperature sensors, volatile compound sensors, weight sensors, humidity sensors, depth sensors, location sensors (GPS receivers; etc.), inertial sensors (e.g., accelerators, gyroscope, magnetometer, etc.), biometric sensors (e.g., heart rate sensors, fingerprint sensors, bio- impedance sensors, etc.), pressure sensors, flow sensors, power sensors (e.g., Hall effect sensors), and/or or any other suitable sensor.
[0050] Additionally or alternatively, portions of the supplementary dataset can be derived from medical record data and/or clinical data of the subject(s). As such, portions of the supplementary dataset can be derived from one or more electronic health records (EHRs) of the subject(s).
[0051] Additionally or alternatively, the supplementary dataset of Block S120 can include any other suitable diagnostic information (e.g., clinical diagnosis information), which can be combined with analyses derived from features to support characterization of subjects in subsequent blocks of the method 100. For instance, information derived from a colonoscopy, biopsy, blood test, diagnostic imaging, other suitable diagnostic procedures, survey-related information, and/or any other suitable test can be used to supplement (e.g., for any suitable portions of the method 100).
[0052] Additionally or alternatively, the supplementary dataset can include therapy-related data including one or more of: therapy regimens, types of therapies, recommended therapies, therapies used by the user, therapy adherence, etc. For example, the supplementary dataset
can include user adherence (e.g., medication adherence, probiotic adherence, physical exercise adherence, dietary adherence, etc.) to a recommended therapy. However, processing supplementary datasets can be performed in any suitable manner.
3^3 Performing a characterization process.
[0053] Block S130 recites: performing a characterization process for the one or more microorganism-related conditions, based on the supplementary dataset and/or microbiome features (e.g., a set of microbiome composition diversity features; a set of microbiome functional diversity features; etc.) extracted from the microbiome dataset. Block S130 can function to identify, extract, and/or otherwise process features and/or feature combinations that can be used to characterize subjects or groups based upon their microbiome composition features (e.g., microbiome composition diversity features, etc.), functional features (e.g., microbiome functional diversity features, etc.), and/or other suitable microbiome features (e.g., such as through the generation and application of a characterization model for determining microorganism-related characterizations, etc.). As such, the characterization process can be used as a diagnostic tool that can characterize a subject (e.g., in terms of behavioral traits, in terms of medical conditions, in terms of demographic traits, etc.) based upon their microbiome composition and/or functional features, in relation to one or more of their health condition states (e.g., microorganism-related condition states), behavioral traits, medical conditions, demographic traits, and/or any other suitable traits. Such characterization can then be used to suggest and/or provide personalized therapies by way of the therapy model of Block S140.
[0054] In performing the characterization process, Block S130 can use computational methods (e.g., statistical methods, machine learning methods, artificial intelligence methods, bioinformatics methods, etc.) to characterize a subject as exhibiting features associated with one or more microorganism-related conditions (e.g., features characteristic of a set of users with the one or more microorganism-related conditions, etc.).
[0055] In a variation, characterization can be based upon features associated with (e.g., derived from) a statistical analysis (e.g., an analysis of probability distributions) of similarities and/or differences between a first group of subjects exhibiting a target state (e.g., a microorganism- related condition state) and a second group of subjects not exhibiting the target state (e.g., a "normal" state). In implementing this variation, one or more of a Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test, a permutation test, a Cramer-von Mises test, and any other statistical test (e.g., t-test, z- test, chi-squared test, test associated with distributions, etc.) can be used. In particular, one or more such statistical hypothesis tests can be used to assess a set of features having varying
degrees of abundance in a first group of subjects exhibiting a target state (e.g., a sick state) and a second group of subjects not exhibiting the target state (e.g., having a normal state). In more detail, the set of features assessed can be constrained based upon percent abundance and/or any other suitable parameter pertaining to diversity in association with the first group of subjects and the second group of subjects, in order to increase or decrease confidence in the characterization. In a specific implementation of this example, a feature can be derived from a taxon of bacteria that is abundant in a certain percentage of subjects of the first group and subjects of the second group, where a relative abundance of the taxon between the first group of subjects and the second group of subjects can be determined from the KS test, with an indication of significance (e.g., in terms of p-value). Thus, an output of Block S130 can include a normalized relative abundance value (e.g., 25% greater abundance of a taxon in subjects with a microorganism-related condition vs. subjects without the microorganism-related condition; in sick subjects vs. healthy subjects) with an indication of significance (e.g., a p-value of 0.0013). Variations of feature generation can additionally or alternatively implement or be derived from functional features or metadata features (e.g., non-bacterial markers). Additionally or alternatively, any suitable microbiome features can be derived based on statistical analyses (e.g., applied to a microorganism sequence dataset and/or other suitable microbiome dataset, etc.) including any one or more of: a prediction analysis, multi hypothesis testing, a random forest test, and/or principal component analysis.
[0056] In performing the characterization process, Block S130 can additionally or alternatively transform input data from at least one of the microbiome composition diversity dataset and microbiome functional diversity dataset into feature vectors that can be tested for efficacy in predicting characterizations of the population of subjects. Data from the supplementary dataset can be used to provide indication of one or more characterizations of a set of characterizations, where the characterization process is trained with a training dataset of candidate features and candidate classifications to identify features and/or feature combinations that have high degrees (or low degrees) of predictive power in accurately predicting a classification. As such, refinement of the characterization process with the training dataset identifies feature sets (e.g., of subject features, of combinations of features) having high correlation with specific classifications of subjects.
[0057] In variations, feature vectors (and/or any suitable set of features) effective in predicting classifications of the characterization process can include features related to one or more of: microbiome diversity metrics (e.g., in relation to distribution across taxonomic groups, in relation to distribution across archaeal, bacterial, viral, and/or eukaryotic groups), presence of
taxonomic groups in one's microbiome, representation of specific genetic sequences (e.g., 16S sequences) in one's microbiome, relative abundance of taxonomic groups in one's microbiome, microbiome resilience metrics (e.g., in response to a perturbation determined from the supplementary dataset), abundance of genes that encode proteins or RNAs with given functions (enzymes, transporters, proteins from the immune system, hormones, interference RNAs, etc.) and any other suitable features associated with (e.g., derived from) the microbiome diversity dataset and/or the supplementary dataset. In variations, microbiome features can be associated with (e.g., include, correspond to, typify, etc.) at least one of: presence of a microbiome feature from the microbiome features (e.g., user microbiome features, etc.), absence of the microbiome features from the microbiome features, relative abundance of different taxonomic groups associated with the microorganism-related condition; a ratio between at least two microbiome features associated with the different taxonomic groups, interactions between the different taxonomic groups, and phylogenetic distance between the different taxonomic groups. In a specific example, microbiome features can include one or more relative abundance characteristics associated with at least one of the microbiome composition diversity features (e.g., relative abundance associated with different taxa, etc.) and the microbiome functional diversity features (e.g., relative abundance of sequences corresponding to different functional features; etc.). Relative abundance characteristics and/or other suitable microbiome features (and/or other suitable data described herein) can be extracted and/or otherwise determined based on: a normalization, a feature vector derived from at least one of linear latent variable analysis and non-linear latent variable analysis, linear regression, non-linear regression, a kernel method, a feature embedding method, a machine learning method, and a statistical inference method. Additionally or alternatively, combinations of features can be used in a feature vector, where features can be grouped and/or weighted in providing a combined feature as part of a feature set. For example, one feature or feature set can include a weighted composite of the number of represented classes of bacteria in one's microbiome, presence of a specific genus of bacteria in one's microbiome, representation of a specific 16S sequence in one's microbiome, and relative abundance of a first phylum over a second phylum of bacteria. However, the feature vectors can additionally or alternatively be determined in any other suitable manner.
[0058] As shown in FIGURE 3, in one such alternative variation of Block S130, the characterization process can be generated and trained according to a random forest predictor (RFP) algorithm that combines bagging (e.g., bootstrap aggregation) and selection of random sets of features from a training dataset to construct a set of decision trees, T, associated with
the random sets of features. In using a random forest algorithm, N cases from the set of decision trees are sampled at random with replacement to create a subset of decision trees, and for each node, m prediction features are selected from all of the prediction features for assessment. The prediction feature that provides the best split at the node (e.g., according to an objective function) is used to perform the split (e.g., as a bifurcation at the node, as a trifurcation at the node). By sampling many times from a large dataset, the strength of the characterization process, in identifying features that are strong in predicting classifications can be increased substantially. In this variation, measures to prevent bias (e.g., sampling bias) and/or account for an amount of bias can be included during processing, such as to increase robustness of the model.
[0059] Additionally or alternatively, Block S130 (e.g., extracting microbiome features; generating characterization models for microorganism-related conditions; etc.) and/or other suitable portions of the method 100 (e.g., determining a microorganism-related characterization; determining and/or providing a therapy; etc.) can employ data processing approaches including any one or more of: performing pattern recognition on data (e.g., identifying correlations between microorganism-related conditions and microbiome features; etc.), fusing data from multiple sources (e.g., generating characterization models based on microbiome data and/or supplementary data from a plurality of users associated with one or more microorganism-related conditions; etc.), combination of values (e.g., averaging values, etc.), compression, conversion (e.g., digital-to-analog conversion, analog-to-digital conversion), performing statistical estimation on data (e.g. ordinary least squares regression, non-negative least squares regression, principal components analysis, ridge regression, etc.), wave modulation, normalization, updating (e.g., of characterization models and/or therapy models based on processed biological samples over time; etc.), ranking (e.g., microbiome features; therapies; etc.), weighting (e.g., microbiome features; etc.), validating, filtering (e.g., for baseline correction, data cropping, etc.), noise reduction, smoothing, filling (e.g., gap filling), aligning, model fitting, binning, windowing, clipping, transformations, mathematical operations (e.g., derivatives, moving averages, summing, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, etc.), data association, multiplexing, demultiplexing, interpolating, extrapolating, clustering, image processing techniques, other signal processing operations, other image processing operations, visualizing, and/or any other suitable processing operations. However, data processing for facilitating any suitable portions of the method 100 can be performed in any suitable manner.
[0060] In a variation, Block S130 and/or other portions of the method 100 can include applying computer-implemented rules (e.g., models, feature selection rules, etc.) to process population-level data, but can additionally or alternatively include applying computer- implemented rules to process microbiome-related data on a demographic-specific basis (e.g., subgroups sharing a demographic feature such as therapy regimens, dietary regimens, physical activity regimens, ethnicity, age, gender, weight, sleeping behaviors, etc.), condition-specific basis (e.g., subgroups exhibiting a specific microorganism-related condition, a combination of microorganism-related conditions, triggers for the microorganism-related conditions, associated symptoms, etc.), a sample type-specific basis (e.g., applying different computer- implemented rules to process microbiome data derived from different collection sites; etc.), a user basis (e.g., different computer-implemented rules for different users; etc.) and/or any other suitable basis. As such, Block S132 can include assigning users from the population of users to one or more subgroups; and applying different computer-implemented rules for determining features (e.g., the set of feature types used; the types of characterization models generated from the features; etc.) for the different subgroups. However, applying computer- implemented rules can be performed in any suitable manner.

microorganism-related condition characterization model based on the population microorganism sequence dataset and the supplementary dataset.

[0063] In variations, determining microorganism-related characterizations and/or any other suitable characterizations can include determining microorganism-related characterizations in relation to specific physiological sites (e.g., gut, healthy gut, skin, nose, mouth, genitals, other suitable physiological sites, other sample collection sites, etc.), such as through any one or more of: determining a microorganism-related characterization based on a characterization model derived based on site-specific data (e.g., defining correlations between a microorganism-related condition and microbiome features associated with one or more physiological sites); determining a microorganism-related characterization based on a user biological sample collected at one or more physiological sites, and/or any other suitable site- related processes. In examples, machine learning approaches (e.g., classifiers, deep learning algorithms), parameter optimization approaches (e.g., Bayesian Parameter Optimization), validation approaches (e.g., cross validation approaches), statistical tests (e.g., univariate statistical techniques, multivariate statistical techniques, correlation analysis such as canonical
correlation analysis, etc.), dimension reduction approaches, and/or other suitable approaches (e.g., described herein) can be applied in determining site-related (e.g., physiological site- related, etc.) characterizations (e.g., using a one or more approaches for one or more sample collection sites, such as for each type of sample collection site, etc.), other suitable characterizations, therapies, and/or any other suitable outputs. In a specific example, performing a characterization process (e.g., determining a microorganism-related characterization; determining microbiome features; based on a microorganism-related characterization model; etc.) can include applying at least one of: machine learning approaches, parameter optimization approaches, statistical tests, dimension reduction approaches, and/or other suitable approaches (e.g., where microbiome features such as a set of microbiome composition diversity features and/or a set of microbiome functional diversity features can be associated with microorganisms collected at least at one of a gut site, a skin site, a nose site, a mouth site, a genitals site, etc.). In another specific example, characterization processes performed for a plurality of sample collection sites can be used to generate individual characterizations that can be combined to determine an aggregate characterization (e.g., an aggregate microbiome score, such as for one or more conditions described herein, etc.). However, the method 100 can include determining any suitable site-related (e.g., site-specific) outputs, and/or performing any suitable portions of the method 100 (e.g., collecting samples, processing samples, determining therapies) with site-specificity and/or other site-relatedness in any suitable manner.
[0064] Characterization of the subject(s) can additionally or alternatively implement use of a high false positive test and/or a high false negative test to further analyze sensitivity of the characterization process in supporting analyses generated according to embodiments of the method 100. However, performing a characterization process S130 can be performed in any suitable manner.

3.3-1 Lyme disease characterization process.
[0087] In a variation, Block S130 can include performing a Lyme disease characterization process (e.g., determining and/or applying a Lyme disease characterization model; etc.) for one or more users.
[0088] In one implementation, a characterization process of Block S130 based upon statistical analyses can identify the sets of features that have the highest correlations with Lyme disease associated-microorganisms for which one or more therapies would have a positive effect, such as based upon a random forest predictor algorithm (and/or other suitable model) trained with a training dataset derived from a subset of the population of subjects, and/or validated with a validation dataset derived from a subset of the population of subjects. In particular, a Lyme disease condition can include an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the Borrelia genus that is transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes genus. A Lyme disease condition can be characterized by skin rashes starting at the tick's bite site and physical and mental unwellness, including fever, headaches and feeling tired. If untreated, symptoms may include memory problems, heart palpitations, reduced ability to move one or both sides of the face, joint pains and/or severe headaches with neck stiffness. Typical methods for diagnosis include analysis of symptoms, history of tick exposure and possible testing for the presence of specific antibodies, although this often shows false negatives in early stages of the disease. A set of features (e.g., useful for diagnostics and/or other suitable purposes, etc.) associated with Lyme disease includes features associated with (e.g., derived from) one or more of the following taxons: Blautia luti (Species), Parabacteroides merdae (Species), Dorea (Genus), Subdoligranulum (Genus), Collinsella (Genus), Parabacteroides (Genus), Sarcina (Genus), Roseburia (Genus), Oscillospira (Genus), Bacteroides (Genus), Clostridium (Genus), Oscillospiraceae (Family), Coriobacteriaceae (Family), Bacteroidaceae (Family), Ruminococcaceae (Family), Lactobacillaceae (Family), Fibrobacteraceae (Family), Clostridiaceae (Family), Porphyromonadaceae (Family), Coriobacteriales (Order), Bacteroidales (Order), Clostridials (Order), Fibrobacterales (Order), Actinobacteria (Class), Bacteroidia (Class), Clostridia (Class), Fibrobacteria (Class), Actinobacteria (Phylum), Bacteroidetes (Phylum), Firmicutes (Phylum), Fibrobacteres (Phylum), and/or the microbiome features can

[0090] Thus, characterization of the subject can include characterization of the subject as someone with one or more microorganism-related conditions, such as based upon detection of one or more of a combination of any of the above features, and such as in a manner that is an alternative or supplemental to typical methods of diagnosis and/or other suitable purposes. In variations of the specific example, the set of features can, however, include any other suitable features useful for diagnostics and/or other suitable purposes. However, any suitable taxons, functions, and/or other suitable aspects associated with microbiome features can be associated with any suitable sample sites.
3-4 Determining a therapy model.
[0091] Block S140 recites: generating a therapy model configured to modulate microorganism distributions in subjects characterized according to the characterization process. Block S140 can function to identify or predict therapies (e.g., probiotic-based therapies, phage-based therapies, small molecule-based therapies, etc.) that can shift a subject's microbiome composition and/or functional features toward a desired equilibrium state in promotion of the subject's health, and/or determine therapies for otherwise modifying a state of a microorganism-related condition (e.g., modifying a user behavior associated with a human behavior condition, etc.). In Block S140, the therapies can be selected from therapies including one or more of: probiotic therapies, phage-based therapies, small molecule-based therapies, cognitive/behavioral therapies, physical rehabilitation therapies, clinical therapies, medication-based therapies, diet-related therapies, and/or any other suitable therapy designed to operate in any other suitable manner in promoting a user's health. In a specific example of a
bacteriophage-based therapy, one or more populations (e.g., in terms of colony forming units) of bacteriophages specific to a certain bacteria (or other microorganism) represented in the subject can be used to down-regulate or otherwise eliminate populations of the certain bacteria. As such, bacteriophage-based therapies can be used to reduce the size(s) of the undesired population(s) of bacteria represented in the subject. Complementarily, bacteriophage-based therapies can be used to increase the relative abundances of bacterial populations not targeted by the bacteriophage(s) used.
[0092] In another specific example of probiotic therapies, as shown in FIGURE 4, candidate therapies of the therapy model can perform one or more of: blocking pathogen entry into an epithelial cell by providing a physical barrier (e.g., by way of colonization resistance), inducing formation of a mucous barrier by stimulation of goblet cells, enhance integrity of apical tight junctions between epithelial cells of a subject (e.g., by stimulating up regulation of zona- occludens 1, by preventing tight junction protein redistribution), producing antimicrobial factors, stimulating production of anti-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., by signaling of dendritic cells and induction of regulatory T-cells), triggering an immune response, and performing any other suitable function that adjusts a subject's microbiome away from a state of dysbiosis. In another specific example, therapies can include medical-device based therapies (e.g., associated with human behavior modification, associated with treatment of disease-related conditions, etc.).
[0093] In variations, the therapy model is preferably based upon data from a large population of subjects, which can include the population of subjects from which the microbiome diversity datasets are derived in Block S110, where microbiome composition and/or functional features or states of health, prior exposure to and post exposure to a variety of therapeutic measures, are well characterized. Such data can be used to train and validate the therapy provision model, in identifying therapeutic measures that provide desired outcomes for subjects based upon different microbiome characterizations. In variations, support vector machines, as a supervised machine learning algorithm, can be used to generate the therapy provision model. However, any other suitable machine learning algorithm described above can facilitate generation of the therapy provision model.
[0094] While some methods of statistical analyses and machine learning are described in relation to performance of the Blocks above, variations of the method 100 can additionally or alternatively utilize any other suitable algorithms in performing the characterization process. In variations, the algorithm(s) can be characterized by a learning style including any one or more of: supervised learning (e.g., using logistic regression, using back propagation neural
networks), unsupervised learning (e.g., using an Apriori algorithm, using K-means clustering), semi-supervised learning, reinforcement learning (e.g., using a Q-learning algorithm, using temporal difference learning), and any other suitable learning style. Furthermore, the algorithm(s) can implement any one or more of: a regression algorithm (e.g., ordinary least squares, logistic regression, stepwise regression, multivariate adaptive regression splines, locally estimated scatterplot smoothing, etc.), an instance-based method (e.g., k-nearest neighbor, learning vector quantization, self-organizing map, etc.), a regularization method (e.g., ridge regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, elastic net, etc.), a decision tree learning method (e.g., classification and regression tree, iterative dichotomiser 3, C4.5, chi-squared automatic interaction detection, decision stump, random forest, multivariate adaptive regression splines, gradient boosting machines, etc.), a Bayesian method (e.g., na'ive Bayes, averaged one-dependence estimators, Bayesian belief network, etc.), a kernel method (e.g., a support vector machine, a radial basis function, a linear discriminate analysis, etc.), a clustering method (e.g., k-means clustering, expectation maximization, etc.), an associated rule learning algorithm (e.g., an Apriori algorithm, an Eclat algorithm, etc.), an artificial neural network model (e.g., a Perceptron method, a back-propagation method, a Hopfield network method, a self-organizing map method, a learning vector quantization method, etc.), a deep learning algorithm (e.g., a restricted Boltzmann machine, a deep belief network method, a convolution network method, a stacked auto-encoder method, etc.), a dimensionality reduction method (e.g., principal component analysis, partial lest squares regression, Sammon mapping, multidimensional scaling, projection pursuit, etc.), an ensemble method (e.g., boosting, boostrapped aggregation, AdaBoost, stacked generalization, gradient boosting machine method, random forest method, etc.), and any suitable form of algorithm.
[0095] Additionally or alternatively, the therapy model can be derived in relation to identification of a "normal" or baseline microbiome composition and/or functional features, as assessed from subjects of a population of subjects who are identified to be in good health. Upon identification of a subset of subjects of the population of subjects who are characterized to be in good health (e.g., using features of the characterization process), therapies that modulate microbiome compositions and/or functional features toward those of subjects in good health can be generated in Block S140. Block S140 can thus include identification of one or more baseline microbiome compositions and/or functional features (e.g., one baseline microbiome for each of a set of demographics), and potential therapy formulations and therapy regimens that can shift microbiomes of subjects who are in a state of dysbiosis toward one of
the identified baseline microbiome compositions and/or functional features. The therapy model can, however, be generated and/or refined in any other suitable manner.
[0096] Microorganism compositions associated with probiotic therapies associated with the therapy model preferably include microorganisms that are culturable (e.g., able to be expanded to provide a scalable therapy) and non-lethal (e.g., non-lethal in their desired therapeutic dosages). Furthermore, microorganism compositions can include a single type of microorganism that has an acute or moderated effect upon a subject's microbiome. Additionally or alternatively, microorganism compositions can include balanced combinations of multiple types of microorganisms that are configured to cooperate with each other in driving a subject's microbiome toward a desired state. For instance, a combination of multiple types of bacteria in a probiotic therapy can include a first bacteria type that generates products that are used by a second bacteria type that has a strong effect in positively affecting a subject's microbiome. Additionally or alternatively, a combination of multiple types of bacteria in a probiotic therapy can include several bacteria types that produce proteins with the same functions that positively affect a subject's microbiome.
[0097] Probiotic compositions can be naturally or synthetically derived. For instance, in one application, a probiotic composition can be naturally derived from fecal matter or other biological matter (e.g., of one or more subjects having a baseline microbiome composition and/or functional features, as identified using the characterization process and the therapy model). Additionally or alternatively, probiotic compositions can be synthetically derived (e.g., derived using a benchtop method) based upon a baseline microbiome composition and/or functional features, as identified using the characterization process and the therapy model. In variations, microorganism agents that can be used in probiotic therapies can include one or more of: yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces boulardii), gram-negative bacteria (e.g., E. coli Nissle), gram-positive bacteria (e.g., Bifidobacteria bifidum, Bifidobacteria infantis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bacillus polyfermenticus, etc.), and any other suitable type of microorganism agent.
[0098] In a variation, for subjects who exhibit a caffeine consumption lifestyle behavior (and/or other suitable microorganism-related conditions), a probiotic therapy, prebiotic therapy, and/or other suitable consumable can be associated with (e.g., include) a combination of any one or more of: Collinsella aerofaciens, Blautia luti, Erysipelatoclostridium ramosum, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Subdoligranulum variabile, Parabacteroides merdae, Alistipes putredinis, Bacteroides vulgatus, Bacteroides fragilis, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii,
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Dorea formicigenerans, Blautia faecis, Bacteroides acidifaciens, Flavonifractor plautii, Methanobrevibacter smithii, and any other suitable microorganisms or phage vector (e.g., bacteriophage, virus, etc.).
[0099] In another variation, for subjects who exhibit a cancer condition (e.g., exhibiting cancer-associated-microorganisms, etc.) (and/or other suitable microorganism-related conditions), a probiotic therapy, prebiotic therapy, and/or other suitable consumable can be associated with (e.g., include) a combination of any one or more of: Blautia luti, Collinsella aerofaciens, Flavonifractor plautii, Subdoligranulum variabile, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Dorea formicigenerans, Roseburia inulinivorans, Blautia sp. YHC-4, Parasutterella excrementihominis, Sutterella wadsworthensis, Bacteroides caccae, and any other suitable microorganisms or phage vector (e.g., bacteriophage, virus, etc.).
[00100] In another variation, for subjects who exhibit an anemia condition (and/or other suitable microorganism-related conditions), a probiotic therapy, prebiotic therapy, and/or other suitable consumable can be associated with (e.g., include) a combination of any one or more of: Flavonifractor plautii, Blautia luti, Collinsella aerofaciens, Subdoligranulum variabile, Dorea formicigenerans, Blautia sp. YHC-4, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Roseburia inulinivorans and any other suitable microorganisms or phage vector (e.g., bacteriophage, virus, etc.).
[00101] In another variation, for subjects who exhibit an alcohol consumption condition (and/or other suitable microorganism-related conditions), a probiotic therapy, prebiotic therapy, and/or other suitable consumable can be associated with (e.g., include) a combination of any one or more of: Collinsella aerofaciens, Parabacteroides distasonis, Odoribacter splanchnicus, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Blautia luti, Subdoligranulum variabile, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Parabacteroides merdae, Roseburia inulinivorans, Flavonifractor plautii, Streptococcus thermophilus, Sutterella wadsworthensis, Roseburia hominis, and any other suitable microorganisms or phage vector (e.g., bacteriophage, virus, etc.).
[00102] In another variation, for subjects who exhibit an extreme physical exercise condition (e.g., habit) (and/or other suitable microorganism-related conditions), a probiotic therapy, prebiotic therapy, and/or other suitable consumable can be associated with (e.g., include) a combination of any one or more of: Bacteroides vulgatus, Parabacteroides merdae, Bacteroides caccae, Collinsella aerofaciens, Phascolarctobacterium faecium, Bacteroides fragilis, Parabacteroides distasonis, Flavonifractor plautii, Megamonas funiformis, Roseburia
inulinivorans and any other suitable microorganisms or phage vector (e.g., bacteriophage, virus, etc.).
[00103] In another variation, for subjects who exhibit a moderate physical exercise condition (and/or other suitable microorganism-related conditions), a probiotic therapy, prebiotic therapy, and/or other suitable consumable can be associated with (e.g., include) a combination of any one or more of: Bacteroides vulgatus, Bacteroides caccae, Parabacteroides merdae, Phascolarctobacterium faecium, Parabacteroides distasonis, Flavonifractor plautii, Bacteroides fragilis, Parasutterella excrementihominis, Blautia sp. YHC-4, Collinsella aerofaciens, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and any other suitable microorganisms or phage vector (e.g., bacteriophage, virus, etc.).
[00104] In another variation, for subjects who exhibit a menopause condition (and/or other suitable microorganism-related conditions), a probiotic therapy, prebiotic therapy, and/or other suitable consumable can be associated with (e.g., include) a combination of any one or more of: Bifidobacteria bifidum, Bifidobacteria infantis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bacillus polyfermenticus, Lactobacillaceae (Family), Clostridia (Class) Clostridiales (Order) and any other suitable microorganisms or phage vector (e.g., bacteriophage, virus, etc.).
[00105] In another variation, for subjects who exhibit a probiotics-related condition (e.g., associated with food habits and/or diet, etc.) (and/or other suitable microorganism-related conditions), a probiotic therapy, prebiotic therapy, and/or other suitable consumable can be associated with (e.g., include) a combination of any one or more of: Blautia luti, Flavonifractor plautii, Collinsella aerofaciens, Blautia glucerasea, Erysipelatoclostridium ramosum, Dialister propionicifaciens, Blautia sp. YHC-4 and any other suitable microorganisms or phage vector (e.g., bacteriophage, virus, etc.).
[00106] In another variation, for subjects who exhibit a Lyme disease condition, a probiotic therapy, prebiotic therapy, and/or other suitable consumable can be associated with (e.g., include) a combination of any one or more of: Blautia luti, Parabacteroides merdae and any other suitable microorganisms or phage vector (e.g., bacteriophage, virus, etc.).
[00107] In another variation, microbiome datasets (e.g., based on composition or diversity of recognizable patterns of relative abundance in microorganisms that are present in subject microbiome) can be used as a diagnostic tool using bioinformatics pipelines and characterization describe above. However, probiotic therapies and/or other suitable therapies
can include any suitable combination of microorganisms associated with any suitable taxa described herein.
[00108] Probiotics and/or other suitable consumables can be provided at dosages of o.i million to 10 billion CFUs (and/or other suitable dosages), such as determined from a therapy model that predicts positive adjustment of a patient's microbiome in response to the therapy. In a specific example, a subject can be instructed to ingest capsules including the probiotic formulation according to a regimen tailored to one or more of his/her: physiology (e.g., body mass index, weight, height), demographics (e.g., gender, age), severity of dysbiosis, sensitivity to medications, and any other suitable factor. For subjects who exhibit a microorganism- related condition, associated-microorganisms (e.g., corresponding to correlated microbiome composition features) can provide a dataset based on composition and/or diversity of recognizable patterns of relative abundance in microorganisms that are present in subject microbiome, and can be used as a diagnostic tool using bioinformatics pipelines and characterization describe above.
3.5 Processing a user biological sample.
[00109] The method 100 can additionally or alternatively include Block S150, which recites: processing one or more biological samples from a user (e.g., subject). Block S150 can function to facilitate generation of a microbiome dataset for the subject, such as for use in deriving inputs for the characterization process (e.g., for generating a microorganism-related characterization for the user, etc.). As such, Block S150 can include receiving, processing, and/or analyzing one or more biological samples from one or more users (e.g., multiple biological samples for the same user over time, different biological samples for different users, etc.). In Block S150, the biological sample is preferably generated from the subject and/or an environment of the subject in a non-invasive manner. In variations, non-invasive manners of sample reception can use any one or more of: a permeable substrate (e.g., a swab configured to wipe a region of a subject's body, toilet paper, a sponge, etc.), a non-permeable substrate (e.g., a slide, tape, etc.) a container (e.g., vial, tube, bag, etc.) configured to receive a sample from a region of a subject's body, and any other suitable sample-reception element. In a specific example, the biological sample can be collected from one or more of the subject's nose, skin, genitals, mouth, and gut in a non-invasive manner (e.g., using a swab and a vial). However, the biological sample can additionally or alternatively be received in a semi-invasive manner or an invasive manner. In variations, invasive manners of sample reception can use any one or more of: a needle, a syringe, a biopsy element, a lance, and any other suitable instrument for
collection of a sample in a semi-invasive or invasive manner. In specific examples, samples can include blood samples, plasma/serum samples (e.g., to enable extraction of cell-free DNA), and tissue samples.
[00110] In the above variations and examples, the biological sample can be taken from the body of the subject without facilitation by another entity (e.g., a caretaker associated with a subject, a health care professional, an automated or semi-automated sample collection apparatus, etc.), or can alternatively be taken from the body of the subject with the assistance of another entity. In one example, where the biological sample is taken from the subject without facilitation by another entity in the sample extraction process, a sample-provision kit can be provided to the subject. In the example, the kit can include one or more swabs for sample acquisition, one or more containers configured to receive the swab(s) for storage, instructions for sample provision and setup of a user account, elements configured to associate the sample(s) with the subject (e.g., barcode identifiers, tags, etc.), and a receptacle that allows the sample(s) from the subject to be delivered to a sample processing operation (e.g., by a mail delivery system). In another example, where the biological sample is extracted from the subject with the help of another entity, one or more samples can be collected in a clinical or research setting from the subject (e.g., during a clinical appointment). The biological sample can, however, be received from the subject in any other suitable manner.
[00111] Furthermore, processing and analyzing the biological sample (e.g., to generate a user microbiome dataset; etc.) from the subject is preferably performed in a manner similar to that of one of the embodiments, variations, and/or examples of sample reception described in relation to Block Sno above, and/or any other suitable portions of the method 100. As such, reception and processing of the biological sample in Block S150 can be performed for the subject using similar processes as those for receiving and processing biological samples used to generate the characterization process and/or the therapy model of the method 100, in order to provide consistency of process. However, biological sample reception and processing in Block S150 can alternatively be performed in any other suitable manner.
3.6 Determining a microorganism-related characterization.
[00112] The method 100 can additionally or alternatively include Block S160, which recites: determining, with the characterization process, a microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) for the user based upon processing one or more microbiome dataset (e.g., user microorganism sequence dataset, microbiome composition dataset, microbiome functional diversity dataset; processing of the microbiome dataset to extract microbiome features; etc.) derived from the
biological sample of the user. Block S160 can function to characterize one or more microorganism-related conditions for a user, such as through extracting features from microbiome-derived data of the subject, and using the features as inputs into an embodiment, variation, or example of the characterization process described in Block S130 above. In an example, Block S160 can include generating a microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) for the user based on user microbiome features and a microorganism-related condition characterization model (e.g., generated in Block S130). Microorganism-related characterizations can be for any number and/or combination of microorganism-related conditions (e.g., a combination of microorganism-related conditions, a single microorganism-related condition, and/or other suitable microorganism-related conditions; etc.). Microorganism-related characterizations can include one or more of: diagnoses (e.g., presence or absence of a microorganism-related condition; etc.); risk (e.g., risk scores for developing and/or the presence of a microorganism- related condition; information regarding microorganism-related characterizations (e.g., symptoms, signs, triggers, associated conditions, etc.); comparisons (e.g., comparisons with other subgroups, populations, users, historic health statuses of the user such as historic microbiome compositions and/or functional diversities; comparisons associated with microorganism-related conditions; etc.), and/or any other suitable data.
[00113] In a variation, microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) can include determining one or more microorganism-related profiles (e.g., human behavior profiles, disease-related profiles, etc.) describing human behaviors and/or disease-related conditions for the user (e.g., known to affect the user; predicted to affect the user, such as based on microbiome features, supplementary data, etc.). Microorganism-related profiles and/or other characterizations can be associated with (e.g., correlated with, etc.) one or more of: family history, age, gender, weight, height, other demographic characteristics, and/or any other suitable supplementary data.
[00114] In another variation, a microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) can include a microbiome diversity score (e.g., in relation to microbiome composition, function, etc.) associated with (e.g., correlated with; negatively correlated with; positively correlated with; etc.) a microbiome diversity score correlated with the microorganism-related condition. In an example, the method 100 can include promoting a diet-related therapy (e.g., probiotics; dietary regimen modifications such as alcohol consumption reduction and/or caffeine consumption reduction;
etc.) operable to improve the microbiome diversity score for improving a state of the microorganism-related condition, such as based on a microorganism-related characterization (e.g., including the microbiome diversity score for the user) and/or diet-related supplementary data collected from the user. In examples, the microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) can include microbiome diversity scores over time (e.g., calculated for a plurality of biological samples of the user collected over time), comparisons to microbiome diversity scores for other users, and/or any other suitable type of microbiome diversity score. However, processing microbiome diversity scores (e.g., determining microbiome diversity scores; using microbiome diversity scores to determine and/or provide therapies; etc.) can be performed in any suitable manner.
[00115] Determining a microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) in Block S160 preferably includes identifying features and/or combinations of features associated with the microbiome composition and/or functional features of the subject, inputting the features into the characterization process, and receiving an output that characterizes the subject as belonging to one or more of: a behavioral group, a gender group, a dietary group, a disease-state group, and any other suitable group capable of being identified by the characterization process. Block S160 can additionally or alternatively include generation of and/or output of a confidence metric associated with the characterization of the subject. For instance, a confidence metric can be derived from the number of features used to generate the characterization, relative weights or rankings of features used to generate the characterization, measures of bias in the characterization process, and/or any other suitable parameter associated with aspects of the characterization process. However, leveraging user microbiome features can be performed in any suitable manner to generate any suitable microorganism-related characterizations.
[00116] In some variations, features extracted from the microbiome dataset of the subject can be supplemented with supplementary features (e.g., extracted from supplementary data collected for the user; such as survey-derived features, medical history-derived features, sensor data, etc.), where such data, the user microbiome data, and/or other suitable data can be used to further refine the characterization process of Block S130, Block S160, and/or other suitable portions of the method 100.
[00117] Determining a microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) preferably includes extracting and applying user microbiome features (e.g., user microbiome composition diversity features; user microbiome functional diversity features; etc.) for the user (e.g., based on a user microbiome
dataset), characterization models, and/or other suitable components, such as by employing approaches described in Block S130, and/or by employing any suitable approaches described herein.
[00118] In variations, as shown in FIGURE 6, Block S160 can include presenting microorganism-related characterizations (e.g., information extracted from the characterizations, etc.), such as at a web interface, a mobile application, and/or any other suitable interface, but presentation of information can be performed in any suitable manner. However, the microbiome dataset of the subject can additionally or alternatively be used in any other suitable manner to enhance the models of the method 100, and Block S160 can be performed in any suitable manner.
3.7 Promoting a therapy.
[00119] As shown in FIGURE 9, the method 100 can additionally or alternatively include Block S170, which recites: promoting (e.g., providing, facilitating provision of, etc.) a therapy for the microorganism-related condition to the user (e.g., based upon the microorganism- related characterization and/ or a therapy model). Block S170 can function to recommend or provide a personalized therapy to the subject, in order to shift the microbiome composition and/or functional diversity of a user toward a desired equilibrium state (and/or otherwise improving a state of the microorganism-related condition, etc.). Block S170 can include provision of a customized therapy to the subject according to their microbiome composition and functional features, as shown in FIGURE 5, where the customized therapy can include a formulation of microorganisms configured to correct dysbiosis characteristic of subjects having the identified characterization. As such, outputs of Block S140 can be used to directly promote a customized therapy formulation and regimen (e.g., dosage, usage instructions) to the subject based upon a trained therapy model. Additionally or alternatively, therapy provision can include recommendation of available therapeutic measures configured to shift microbiome composition and/or functional features toward a desired state. In variations, therapies can include any one or more of: consumables, topical therapies (e.g., lotions, ointments, antiseptics, etc.), medication (e.g., cancer-related medication, anemia-related medication, Lyme disease-related medication, medications associated with any suitable medication type and/or dosage, etc.), bacteriophages, environmental treatments, behavioral modification (e.g., diet modification therapies, stress-reduction therapies, physical activity-related therapies, etc.), diagnostic procedures, other medical-related procedures, and/or any other suitable therapies associated with microorganism-related conditions. Consumables can include any one or more of: food and/or beverage items (e.g., probiotic and/or prebiotic food and/or beverage
items, etc.), nutritional supplements (e.g., vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids, amino acids, prebiotics, probiotics, etc.), consumable medications, and/or any other suitable therapeutic measure.
[00120] For example, a combination of commercially available probiotic supplements can include a suitable probiotic therapy for the subject according to an output of the therapy model. In another example, the method 100 can include determining a microorganism-related condition risk for the user for the microorganism-related condition based on a microorganism- related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.) model (e.g., and/or user microbiome features); and promoting a therapy to the user based on the microorganism-related condition risk.
[00121] In a variation, promoting a therapy can include promoting a diagnostic procedure (e.g., for facilitating detection of microorganism-related conditions such as human behavior conditions and/or disease-related conditions, which can motivate subsequent promotion of other therapies, such as for modulation of a user microbiome for improving a user health state associated with one or more microorganism-related conditions; etc.). Diagnostic procedures can include any one or more of: medical history analyses, imaging examinations, cell culture tests, antibody tests, skin prick testing, patch testing, blood testing, challenge testing, performing portions of the method 100, and/or any other suitable procedures for facilitating the detecting (e.g., observing, predicting, etc.) of microorganism- related conditions. Additionally or alternatively, diagnostic device-related information and/or other suitable diagnostic information can be processed as part of a supplementary dataset (e.g., in relation to Block S120, where such data can be used in determining and/or applying characterization models, therapy models, and/or other suitable models; etc.), and/or collected, used, and/or otherwise processed in relation to any suitable portions of the method 100 (e.g., administering diagnostic procedures for users for monitoring therapy efficacy in relation to Block Si8o; etc.)
[00122] In another variation, Block S170 can include promoting a bacteriophage-based therapy. In more detail, one or more populations (e.g., in terms of colony forming units) of bacteriophages specific to a certain bacteria (or other microorganism) represented in the subject can be used to down-regulate or otherwise eliminate populations of the certain bacteria. As such, bacteriophage-based therapies can be used to reduce the size(s) of the undesired population(s) of bacteria represented in the subject. Complementarily, bacteriophage-based therapies can be used to increase the relative abundances of bacterial populations not targeted by the bacteriophage(s) used.
[00123] In another variation, therapy provision in Block S170 can include provision of notifications to a subject regarding the recommended therapy, other forms of therapy, microorganism-related characterizations, and/or other suitable data. In a specific example, providing a therapy to a user can include providing therapy recommendations (e.g., substantially concurrently with providing information derived from a microorganism-related characterization for a user; etc.) and/or other suitable therapy-related information (e.g., therapy efficacy; comparisons to other individual users, subgroups of users, and/or populations of users; therapy comparisons; historic therapies and/or associated therapy- related information; psychological therapy guides such as for cognitive behavioral therapy; etc.), such as through presenting notifications at a web interface (e.g., through a user account associated with and identifying a user; etc.). Notifications can be provided to a subject by way of an electronic device (e.g., personal computer, mobile device, tablet, wearable, head-mounted wearable computing device, wrist-mounted wearable computing device, etc.) that executes an application, web interface, and/or messaging client configured for notification provision. In one example, a web interface of a personal computer or laptop associated with a subject can provide access, by the subject, to a user account of the subject, where the user account includes information regarding the user's microorganism-related characterization (e.g., human behavior characterization, disease-related characterization, etc.), detailed characterization of aspects of the user's microbiome (e.g., in relation to correlations with microorganism-related conditions; etc.), and/or notifications regarding suggested therapeutic measures (e.g., generated in Blocks S140 and/or S170, etc.). In another example, an application executing at a personal electronic device (e.g., smart phone, smart watch, head-mounted smart device) can be configured to provide notifications (e.g., at a display, haptically, in an auditory manner, etc.) regarding therapy suggestions generated by the therapy model of Block S170. Notifications and/or probiotic therapies can additionally or alternatively be provided directly through an entity associated with a subject (e.g., a caretaker, a spouse, a significant other, a healthcare professional, etc.). In some further variations, notifications can additionally or alternatively be provided to an entity (e.g., healthcare professional) associated with a subject, such as where the entity is able to facilitate provision of the therapy (e.g., by way of prescription, by way of conducting a therapeutic session, through a digital telemedicine session using optical and/or audio sensors of a computing device, etc.). Promoting notifications and/or other suitable therapies can, however, be performed in any suitable manner.
3.8 Monitoring therapy effectiveness.
[00124] As shown in FIGURE 7, the method can additionally or alternatively include Block S180, which recites: monitoring effectiveness of the therapy for the subject, based upon processing biological samples, to assess microbiome composition and/or functional features for the subject at a set of time points associated with the probiotic therapy. Block S180 can function to gather additional data regarding positive effects, negative effects, and/or lack of effectiveness of a probiotic therapy suggested by the therapy model for subjects of a given characterization. Monitoring of a subject during the course of a therapy promoted by the therapy model (e.g., by receiving and analyzing biological samples from the subject throughout therapy, by receiving survey-derived data from the subject throughout therapy) can thus be used to generate a therapy-effectiveness model for each characterization provided by the characterization process of Block S130, and each recommended therapy measure provided in Blocks S140 and S170.
[00125] In Block S180, the subject can be prompted to provide additional biological samples at one or more key time points of a therapy regimen that incorporates the therapy, and the additional biological sample(s) can be processed and analyzed (e.g., in a manner similar to that described in relation to Block S120) to generate metrics characterizing modulation of the subject's microbiome composition and/or functional features. For instance, metrics related to one or more of: a change in relative abundance of one or more taxonomic groups represented in the subject's microbiome at an earlier time point, a change in representation of a specific taxonomic group of the subject's microbiome, a ratio between abundance of a first taxonomic group of bacteria and abundance of a second taxonomic group of bacteria of the subject's microbiome, a change in relative abundance of one or more functional families in a subject's microbiome, and any other suitable metrics can be used to assess therapy effectiveness from changes in microbiome composition and/or functional features. Additionally or alternatively, survey-derived data from the subject, pertaining to experiences of the subject while on the therapy (e.g., experienced side effects, personal assessment of improvement, behavioral modifications, symptom improvement, etc.) can be used to determine effectiveness of the therapy in Block S180. For example, the method 100 can include receiving a post-therapy biological sample from the user; collecting a supplementary dataset from the user, where the supplementary dataset describes user adherence to a therapy (e.g., a determined and promoted therapy) and/or other suitable user characteristics (e.g., behaviors, conditions, etc.); generating a post-therapy microbiome characterization of the first user in relation to the microorganism-related condition based on the microorganism-related condition characterization model and the post -therapy biological sample; and promoting an
updated therapy to the user for the microorganism-related condition based on the post-therapy microbiome characterization (e.g., based on a comparison between the post-therapy microbiome characterization and a pre-therapy microbiome characterization; etc.) and/or the user adherence to the therapy (e.g., modifying the therapy based on positive or negative results for the user microbiome in relation to the microorganism-related condition; etc.). Additionally or alternatively, other suitable data (e.g., supplementary data describing user behavior associated with the human behavior condition; supplementary data describing a disease- related condition such as observed symptoms; etc.) can be used in determining a post-therapy characterization (e.g., degree of change from pre- to post- therapy in relation to the microorganism-related condition; etc.), updated therapies (e.g., determining an updated therapy based on effectiveness and/or adherence to the promoted therapy, etc.). Therapy effectiveness, processing of additional biological samples (e.g., to determine additional microorganism-related characterizations, therapies, etc.), and/or other suitable aspects associated with continued biological sample collection, processing, and analysis in relation to microorganism-related conditions can be performed at any suitable time and frequency for generating, updating, and/or otherwise processing models (e.g., characterization models, therapy models, etc.), and/or for any other suitable purpose (e.g., as inputs associated with other portions of the method 100). However, Block S180 can be performed in any suitable manner.
[00126] The method 100 can, however, include any other suitable blocks or steps configured to facilitate reception of biological samples from subjects, processing of biological samples from subjects, analyzing data derived from biological samples, and generating models that can be used to provide customized diagnostics and/or probiotic-based therapeutics according to specific microbiome compositions and/or functional features of subjects.
[00127] The method 100 and/or system of the embodiments can be embodied and/or implemented at least in part as a machine configured to receive a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions. The instructions can be executed by computer- executable components integrated with the application, applet, host, server, network, website, communication service, communication interface, hardware/firmware/software elements of a patient computer or mobile device, or any suitable combination thereof. Other systems and methods of the embodiments can be embodied and/or implemented at least in part as a machine configured to receive a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions. The instructions can be executed by computer-executable components integrated by computer-executable components integrated with apparatuses and networks of the type
described above. The computer-readable medium can be stored on any suitable computer readable media such as RAMs, ROMs, flash memory, EEPROMs, optical devices (CD or DVD), hard drives, floppy drives, or any suitable device. The computer-executable component can be a processor, though any suitable dedicated hardware device can (alternatively or additionally) execute the instructions.
