Abstract
A method and system for analyzing a microbiome of an individual, comprising: providing a sampling kit to the individual at a location remote from the sample processing network, the sampling kit including a sample container having a lysing component and a sample preservation component and configured to receive a sample from a collection site of the individual; receiving the sample container with the sample from the collection site of the individual; generating a microbiome sequence dataset based upon sequencing nucleic acid content of a microorganism portion of the sample; identifying a set of microorganisms represented in the microorganism portion based upon performance of a mapping operation on portions of the microbiome sequence dataset; generating an analysis based upon a set of features related to the microorganism portion; and transmitting information derived from the analysis to the individual.
