A definitive link between the microbiome and inflammatory bowel disease has been established. Microbiome research is also redefining our understanding of metabolic disease.

AAAC Approach to Microbiome Profiling

AAAC’s team employs a unique approach to emerging sciences and technologies that can have a positive effect on the human life experience, especially related to health and curbing the onset of the so-called “normal” aging process. We believe that while we are all going to die, we don’t need to suffer illness and debilitation in our middle age or even later years.

Our team is committed to sharing our knowledge and expertise to make our clients microbiome specialist by the end of their project! Whether you are seeking insight into microbial function through whole metagenomic or metatranscriptomic functional profiling, our team of microbiome experts partners with our clients to design a microbiome research plan tailored to their specific needs.

The most important genome in your body may not be your own.

Are You Human?

Single-celled bacteria living in and on our bodies outnumber human cells by at least 3 to 1 — and perhaps as much as 10 to 1. The latest estimates from the American Academy of Microbiology put our bodies at 37 trillion human cells and our microbiomes — as those bugs are collectively called — at 100 trillion. The typical human microbiome is said to represent about 1,000 different species, with wide variation from one person to the next in exactly which species.

We employ the most up-to-date, robust, and reproducible platform for microbiome profiling available today. Our analysis methods and informatics pipelines are expertly developed and systematically validated to deliver the most complete and reliable microbiome insights.
