Gut Microbiome Profiling
Precision biomarker insights for pediatric health, metabolic disorders and healthy aging.
Why Bifidobacterium Subspecies Matter?
The gut microbiome influences immune function, metabolic health and even neurodevelopment, particularly in early life. Among its key members, Bifidobacterium
stands out for its association with health and lifelong wellbeing.
Not all Bifidobacterium are equal.
Subspecies-level identification is essential to understand which organisms are present and how they relate to health outcomes. Our ATGC platform delivers exactly this resolution, identifying and quantifying bacteria at the species and subspecies level, supporting biomarker discovery and stratification.

Clinical Evidence
Biomarker discovery powered by subspecies-level precision.
Distinct Profiles in Obese vs. Healthy Children
Children with obesity have a fundamentally different Bifidobacterium profile than healthy children. These differences are only visible with subspecies resolution.

Early-Life Window into Neurodevelopment
Infant gut composition at 3-6 months correlates with developmental scores at 24 months. Subspecies-resolved profiles identify potential early indicators.

Applications
Probiotic Development
Does your strain engraft or merely transit? Distinguish supplementation effects from native colonization. Monitor persistence post-intervention.
Nutritional Interventions
Which subspecies respond to specific fibers or prebiotics? Stratify individuals by baseline profile to predict responders.
Infant & Pediatric Health
Early-life screening for developmental risk. Targeted subspecies supplementation during critical windows.
Healthy Aging
Track subspecies shifts associated with longevity. Support microbiome-based strategies for maintaining gut health with age.
