6/5/24 » Pipeline Release: CHAMP™ Human Microbiome Profiler

We're pleased to announce the long awaited arrival of our next-generation human microbiome profiler, CHAMP™, onto the CosmosID-HUB platform!

What is CHAMP™?

• CHAMP offers high-resolution taxonomic and functional profiling that is unparalleled in accuracy, precision, and coverage to maximize insights from human microbiome studies.
• CHAMP™ employs over 400,000 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), created from a collection of more than 30,000 human microbiome samples across 9 different body sites from individuals across the world.
• Enables detection of nearly 7000 bacteria, archaea, and eukaryote species, including many of which are newly discovered.
• Functional characterization via Gut Metabolomic Module (GMM), Gut Brain Module (GBM), KEGG Modules & Orthologs (requires license)

Why CHAMP™?

• Improved Sensitivity and reduced risk of missing important species
• Reduced false signal and increased confidence in detection
• Higher resolution and fewer unknown species via GTDB nomenclature
