Scientific foundations

Scientific foundations and responsible interpretation

Methodology, sequencing framework, reference context, scoring and confidence — explained in clear, educational language.

From sample to interpretation

Every report follows the same transparent pathway

01

Sample

A collected sample is submitted and logged for processing.

02

Sequencing

The chosen method (16S, WGS or MetaT) measures microbial signal at its supported depth.

03

Bioinformatics

Reads are processed against curated references with quality control at each step.

04

Interpretation

ATLAS organises features into scores, panels and confidence cues — never a diagnosis.

Six topics behind every result

How we describe results

Four principles applied to every interpretation

01

Describe, don’t diagnose

We report microbial composition and ecological context — not disease.

02

Show the confidence

Every output carries a visible method-support and confidence cue.

03

Respect the method ceiling

Claims never exceed what the chosen sequencing method can resolve.

04

Compare with context

Reference comparisons are framed with their limits, not as verdicts.

All science content is educational. It explains sequencing-derived microbial patterns and reference-context comparison — not diagnosis or medical advice.
