How is Jona's microbiome profiling different from other tests?
Jona identifies, down to the strain level, all the bacteria, fungi, viruses and other organisms in your sample, using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. This is the most comprehensive gut microbiome sequencing technology on the market. Many microbiome tests identify a limited number of microbial species. Jona’s advanced sequencing can identify over 170,000 microorganisms from DNA, providing a more comprehensive view of your gut ecosystem.
Jona's AI acts more like a bridge to the broader scientific community, summarizing what is known about associations to your specific microbiome from over 220,000 scientific studies, including how specific actions can change your microbiome.
