Add One More Body Site
If you have already signed up for one of our other PERKS, for a LIMITED TIME, you can add an additional body site (stool, skin, oral, vaginal) to your existing PERK for this lower donation. We will simply add another kit to your existing order. Again, this PERK is intended to be used to add an additional body site. So, if you did stool the first time, doing skin or oral with this PERK would be great.

Your microbiome in context
Add two samples from anywhere in your home to ship to the same address as your existing. Help figure out where your microbes are coming from: your doorknobs, your fridge, your counter tops, even your cat? Yes, can sample your cat(s) and dog(s). Two samples.

Beyond Bacteria
Deeper shotgun metagenome and virome characterization of one sample, plus additional marker gene sequencing (16S rRNA, 18S rRNA and ITS, for you sequencing wonks) to characterize not just the bacteria but also the viruses, microbial eukaryotes (like giardia), and fungi in your gut.

Functional Feces
Deeper shotgun metagenomic characterization of up to 7 stool samples, providing an analysis of the variability of functions over time. This could be a great opportunity to see if fasting or extreme diet has an effect on your microbes! We would recommend doing this as a time series. Read more about this PERK in main text.

Hundreds of Your Gut Genomes
Be among the first in the world to get the most detailed map of your gut microbiome and help us push the state-of-the-art in high-throughput sequence technology of microbial communities. We will perform ultra-deep sequencing of your microbiome sample aimed at generating as many individual bacterial genomes as possible (we can’t tell you how because the details of the technique are still under wraps prior to publication).
