Explore your inner universe and learn about the bacteria that live inside of you. Here's how it works: 1. Click “Buy now” -- yay! 2. We’ll send your kit to you through the mail. 3. Collect your samples and send them back to us in the enclosed prepaid envelope (Yes, the gut sample is a quick swab of your toilet paper.) Also, there are a few pages of survey questions and registration information. 4. We run your samples through our state-of-the-art DNA sequencing lab at the University of California, San Francisco By sequencing your bacteria with uBiome, you will learn: - What's in your sample - How you correlate with others - How you correlate with existing studies uBiome has the largest private dataset of human microbiome samples in the world, so by participating you can learn about yourself while contributing to the world’s understanding of the microbiome.
