I received this in the mail, https://shop.ubiome.com/pages/explorer-plus

ExplorerPlus

Or $99/sample versus $89 for the basic kit (one time) or $72 on subscription. What is the difference?

More comprehensive access to your entire microbiome, including viruses and fungi
Functional metagenomics information, such as insights into what key metabolites and vitamins your bacteria are synthesizing for you
More comprehensive probiotic bacteria
Downloadable raw data for every organism detected in your sample

Needless to say, I will enhanced the analysis site with the new information when it is available.

Hi Ken. I have got in contact with Ubiome Support to ask about Explorar Plus and they have told me that this is already available. Have you already enhaced the analytic tool to be able to read it all. In caso you haven´t, will it at least be available to read the file I don´t know whether the file of the new Explorer Plus (i have just asked them now) is in the same format (JSON) or even being in JSON if your tool would be already ready to read those new reports (or at least all the old information till you would update it).

Thanks in advanced and, once again, congrats for your hard job!!

I did some work, but was looking for some more testing. Could you send it to me to use for testing?

Hi Ken!!

Thanks for your quick reply,

They´ve answered me again (first, they did from normal support team and now they did from Explorer team) that they don’t have yet a specific timeframe for ExplorerPlus at the moment and that they are still working on the new report and all of the features to classify the viruses and fungus specifications. I have asked them how long will it take to be available for doing it and, when it is, i will do it as soon as possible (so when i have results, i will send them to you).

I´ve also asked if the results would be in given in a JSON file as the old one. Do you know it?.

Best,

Juan

I got ONE json file that appear to be from the PLUS — likely an early version… and nothing since

They answered again. There hasn’t been an update on ExplorerPlus yet, so it is available for pre-order but no for doing the test yet. They´ve confirmed that the raw data will also be available in JSON.
