Marketing diagnostic shotgun metagenomics to patients and clinicians this way is surely the height of irresponsibility. https://twitter.com/Aperiomics/status/1092558424544444421 …

We take our work extremely seriousness and your comment that we are doing something irresponsible is not taken lightly. We only work with healthcare providers and we provide them with full consultation and referrals to other healthcare experts as part of our service.

I second Nick's comments - this is a bunch of hooey and as far as I can tell, no publications or clinical trials (from your company) to back up your claims. Remember Theranos? Metagenomic diagnostics are simple in principle, but incredibly difficult in reality - trials needed!

We fully understand the complexity involved...that is why we are the only company offering this type of service. We do NOT diagnose anything, rather provide comprehensive information to healthcare providers and help them sort through complex, chronic conditions.

There are other companies - many in fact. All claim the same, none provide proof. We have all heard plenty of miracle stories, but clinical validation is obviously required. Theranos was the only company that could do hundreds of tests from a single drop of blood...

Karius only works with blood and only identifies ~1500-2500 microbes. IDbyDNA, Arc, and Cosmos use Kmer analytics. Cosmos doesn't work much in the clinical space. Our analytics are unique and allow us to identify with better sensitivity and specificity than any other method.

Please do provide data to support your claims that you have better sensitivity and specificity - publications work well for that. For now, we all remain extremely skeptical.
