Rhythmus is a new app that makes prescribing natural agents simpler than before when using the Opus23 database of natural agent effects on genes. Taking an overview of all SNPs for the client, the main Rhythmus screen shows a list of genes sorted by combined SNP effect power factor, with […]
The Opus 23 genetic interpretation software [1] checks for ABH secretor status as part of the hereditary genetics algorithms. Knowing whether your client is a secretor or non-secretor is important for many reasons, one being that non-secretors have increased levels of serum vitamin B12. This is a well known association: at […]
Advice: Intelligent Interface with OPUS23 ADVICE is an app in Utopia that gives algorithmic considerations of multiple bacterial strains in conjunction with the client’s own genome to provide true/false clinical outcomes. ADVICE automatically pulls the client’s Opus23 genetic data where relevant, and incorporates it into algorithmic calculations. (comparable to LUMEN […]
PANSOPHIA – sequential outcome analysis The genomic DNA analysis software Opus 23 includes the Utopia suite of apps for analyzing sequential uBiome data, comparing sequencing-based clinical microbiome data with the client’s own genomic DNA. PANSOPHIA is an Utopia app that gives you the power to sort your client’s data based upon associations with […]
Dr. Peter D’Adamo and Dr. Tara Nayak present an introduction to Utopia, the free microbiome analysis add-on module to Opus 23 for uBiome test results. To use Utopia, you will need to have your client’s 23andMe data already uploaded to Opus 23. You can then upload as many raw data […]
SPECTRUM: Visual community organization SPECTRUM provides a visual representation of the taxonomic data at both the genus and phylum levels. The app demonstrates the weight, influence and diversity of your client’s microbiome in two helpful display formats, each of which are clickable for a deeper look and easy report curation. […]
Announcing the launch of Utopia, the suite of apps within Opus 23 that analyzes and reports on sequential data from uBiome tests. uBiome is the world’s first sequencing-based clinical microbiome screening test, giving the user insight into the bacterial population of multiple body areas. Utopia recognizes all bacteria found by uBiome, but is […]
Parkinson’s disease was described in 1817 by Dr James Parkinson, who published an essay reporting six cases of ‘paralysis agitans’ (the disorder that was later renamed after Parkinson). He described the characteristic resting tremor, abnormal posture and gait, paralysis and diminished muscle strength, and the way that the disease progresses over time. [1] Since the […]
A 2008 paper by Thoeringer et. al., published in the Journal of Neural Transmission [1] described a study of 238 adult Caucasian patients recruited from an Anxiety Disorders Outpatient Clinic in Europe presenting various anxiety disorders, including panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia and generalized anxiety disorder. As there are many genetic studies linking the GABA system […]
Depressive and neurotic behaviours have many potential triggers and contributory factors, but few associated genetic variants have been found, most likely due to the large numbers of subjects needed: Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) require large sample sizes to have sufficient statistical power, which is often achieved by aggregating results in […]
