Announcing the launch of Utopia<\/em>, the suite of apps within Opus 23<\/a> that analyzes and reports on sequential data from uBiome<\/a> 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 specifically interested in the gut bacteria and its interaction with the client’s own genomic DNA. Utopia is free for existing clients: Once you have uploaded 23andMe raw data for your client, you can add as many uBiome tests as you want for that client without additional charge. Utopia will then give you access to multiple apps to analyze the data and reference it to the client’s genomic data where appropriate.<\/p>\n

LOAM: Adaptable taxon data<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

LOAM is a highly flexible search and sort tool that allows you to easily navigate through your client\u2019s Ubiome results by taxon. LOAM allows you to filter taxonomic data based upon several useful parameters as well as sort the filtered results. It is similar to the ARGONAUT app in Opus 23.<\/p>\n

Navigating LOAM<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

From the Utopia drop down menu, hover over \u2018analytics\u2019 until a second list appears, then select LOAM. You will then be presented with the default table which shows \u2018everything\u2019 and is sorted by \u2018repute\u2019 or \u2018interpretation\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the bottom of the window is a jump screen that allows you to move from one screen to the next. You can control how many rows to display be selecting an option from the \u2018Show\u2019 pull down menu. The default is 15.<\/span><\/p>\n

Filtering and sorting results<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

LOAM allows you to parse the taxon data based upon desired treatment goals. Taxons are sortable by benefit as well as pathogenic potential. <\/span><\/p>\n

The LOAM table displays the following data by column: <\/span><\/p>\n
