The Next Generation of Virtual Metagenomics
Welcome to the cutting-edge frontier of microbiome profiling and life-changing knowledge. Other microbiome companies will charge you $300, $3000, or even $300,000 for sampling kits that may let you discover the bacteria that were living inside you a couple of months ago. But why would you spend that much to be told that you should run a marathon a day, skip that third helping of ice cream, or not swim in that river? Isn’t there an easier way to get that obvious advice?
Lyre Microbiomics™ has changed the game of microbiome sampling forever. With Lyre, you don’t need expensive kits, invasive and icky sampling, and biohazard certifications. Instead, we skip the entire messy sampling process and generate your profile using the most cutting-edge generative AI algorithms. We are the first and only company to use Silicon Sample, a collection of random-number generators that predicts your personal microbiome based on what’s been found in other people to date.
Diet / Exercise Interactions
We use information about your microbial profile to define an exquisitely detailed plan to maximize the performance of your microbiome/diet/exercise/health/contentment axes. Your health depends on an array of choices you make and your microbes want to help! But they can only help if you know how to listen to them. Thanks to Lyre Microbiomics™, you will know if your Roseburia hominis is saying “give me ten reps with the blue kettlebell, you lazy sod”, or Akkermansia muciniphila wants another trip to the salad bar.
Social Activities
Like you, we spent a ton of time as kids trying to avoid the dreaded “cooties”. As adults, we now know that “cooties” really means the human microbiome, and we know how dangerous the wrong kind of microbiome can be! Should you take up canasta or waterskiing? Whose musical chair should you avoid at all costs? Lyre Microbiomics™ is here to help. If you and your prospective friends all join, we’ll help everyone sort into best butyrate buddies.
The Latest Science
Other microbiome companies are all like, “we found this thing but we didn’t know what to call it so we left it out of the report”. At Lyre Microbiomics™, we use cutting-edge, proprietary algorithms like BestGuess™ to ensure that no DNA sequence is left behind. Our team is always hard at work trying to culture and then contain newly discovered microorganisms, and our BSL certification (in progress) proves that we’re serious about your security and biosecurity.
No Need For Expensive Test Kits!
The Lyre team designed a beautiful, precise, and very expensive testing suite that made at-home, multi-site microbiome sampling a snap. But then we realized that we could give advice that was nearly as good (and sometimes better) by deploying our world-first Silicon Sample system. With Silicon Sample, we determine your microbiome profile with the click of a button, free of charge. Our margins of error are slightly larger than our competitors’, but why would you pay $500 for probably useless advice when Lyre Microbiomics™ gives you a bundle of DEFINITELY useless advice for FREE?
You Hold All the Cards
Imagine spending a fortune on a sampling kit, waiting two months for a result, then finding out that your microbiome is missing your favourite Bacteria and Archaea. We’ve all lived through that disappointment. But Silicon Sample makes this problem a thing of the past. Every species in your sample has a unique, beautiful BiomeCard that contains complete, mostly inaccurate information about that particular bug. Don’t like your microbiome? You can change it instantly by submitting another Silicon Sample. And you can collect BiomeCards and trade them with your microbiome-compatible friends to build your own custom microbiome! Collect them all, and you’ll be able to deal yourself a hand of lifelong health!
How can you do all this with a $1000 sampling kit? You can’t, that’s how.
