Utopia: Advice, Intelligent interface with Opus23

Utopia logo

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 […]

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 […]

Protection against risk of Parkinson’s disease

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 […]

Don’t Fall into the Methyl Trap!

Methyl trapping is a situation in which folate becomes trapped and unusable by the body. It is defined as a functional folate deficiency that alters homocysteine metabolism such that folate–dependent resynthesis of methionine is compromised. Methyl trapping was originally described in Downs Syndrome (trisomy 21) where plasma levels of homocysteine, methionine, […]
