Why our test is unique to you

Vitract stands out as the only microbiome company offering a broad spectrum of genomic sequencing methods. While most companies stick to a single technique, we use both of the methods below to deliver results tailored to your unique needs.

DNA circular
What is 16S rRNA Sequencing?
16S rRNA sequencing is a precise molecular technique used to identify and classify bacteria and archaea based on the genetic information in their 16S gene. This gene, found in all bacteria, is highly conserved, making it an ideal target for analyzing microbial communities.
What is Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing?
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing is an advanced method that analyzes the entire genetic material of all microorganisms in a sample. Unlike 16S rRNA sequencing, which targets a single gene, shotgun sequencing provides a comprehensive overview of the microbial community by examining the entire genome of each organism.

What happens when you get your results back?

Now it's time to begin making changes to your life that are hyper personalized for your biology.
