For people amusement, while reviewing new studies on PubMed, I got a pleasant surprise! My citizen science project (MicrobiomePrescription) is referenced in BMC Bioinformatics article published June 3 2021. Adding to my prior mentions in New Scientist and The Lancet. “Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome is a risk factor for osteoarthritis in older female adults: a case control study“

Most errors will automatically send emails about the issue and they should be resolved within 24 hrs. If something is still broken after 24 hours, please email Research@MicrobiomePrescription.com.

Currently the online database consists of 50 million rows of data.

Caveat Emptor 

This is a “best effort” project. Data may be incorrectly interpreted or entered on occasion. It is believed that the entry accuracy is between 95% and 98%. Links to the source study are provided for people to verify information before relying on it. There is no claim of “correctness”, just reasonable efforts.

• Feb 14 – Add Herx Bacteria Searchers Some probiotics or antibiotics makes you feel worse…
• Feb 12 Added Thorne Uploader Thorne Microbiome Tests Are Now Supported
• Feb 5th, Some percentiles on Health Analysis / Potential Medical Conditions Detected were incorrect The cause only impacted a few of them but was exposed when doing a blog post.
• Feb 3rd, Add Unhealthy Aging Microbiome to Medical Conditions, see Microbiome and Age
• Feb 1st, Added Bacteria Causing to Medical Conditions, see Bacteria Triggering Coagulation and Micro clots
• Jan 25th, On Modifier and Bacteria Tax pages add Links to AI search engines
• Jan 24th, Added alternative names to suggestions. Hover over 🕮 when it is displayed
• Jan 22nd, Update National Library of Medicine Citations for Specific Condition to show percentile if the user is logged in with an appropriate sample.
• Jan 21st, Updated Medical Conditions with Microbiome Shifts from US National Library of Medicine and National Library of Medicine Citations for Specific Condition to sortable datatables.
• Jan 20th, Researched Condition Progression Using the Microbiome
• Jan 17th, Added Contribution column to KEGG Enzyme to Taxon table.
• Jan 16 Updates Percentile Tables, triage backend issues with updates.
• Jan 15 Fixed issue of incorrect Percentile being assigned showing when a value higher than all previous values is found
• Jan 8 Changed default ordering on several pages to be easier to use
• 
  

• April 22, Added Probiotics for Symptoms based on KEGG Enzymes (not sample specific – generic), see this post
• Apr 4-21 Implemented Categoric Logistic Regression to Symptoms for:
  • Bacteria (Taxonomy)
  • Compounds estimated from KEGG
  • Enzymes estimated from KEGG

• April 3, Refactor KEGG Probiotic Suggestions, see post.
• April 2, Added/Update Bacteria Healthy ranges on per bacteria basis. The computed ranges are linked to pages explaining the method

• April 1, Implement periodic update from NCBI on new bacteria (on 21st of each month). Today, there was 2,419,768 different bacteria classified and assigned NCBI numbers
• Mar 27,investigate odd Kaltoft-Moldrup ranges. Discovered typo in formula, running tests and recalculations.
• Mar 26, Change all distribution charts to real time (Taxon broke for a short while — now fixed)
• Mar 25, added MicrobiomePrescription : KEGG NET Compounds Produced by aor / probiotic-3
• Mar 18, added MicrobiomePrescription : Using OATS test to pick probiotics
• Mar 20, revised the Components Menu.
• Mar 16, Comparing Probiotics using KEGG Data
• Mar 12, Some Downloads Available in “Nerd” mode
• Mar 8, What Probiotics Produced and Consumed (with amount)
• Feb 12, implemented Display Levels to allow people to better handle information overload.
• February — rework the KEGG data to estimate species from existing strain information
• Jan 19, Added links to Bacteria Details from Researched Probiotics Page
• Jan 17, added Kegg Detail pages (for bacteria in KEGG)
• Jan 15, Fixed bacteria selection bug on GMRepro page
• January – onwards. Move periodic updates to a dedicated machine (16 GB memory, SSD Drive, 8 processors) and proceeding to replace old adhoc code with consistent new code. as well as improve performance. (The first complete update run of the old code was over 72 hrs, this has been greatly reduced). Work is still ongoing (mainly catching issues)
