Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Correlation of Microbiome to Disease via Relative Abundance Found in Microbiome Sequencing	The identification of bacterial species residing the gut flora will be processed by next generation sequencing followed by metagenomic analysis. Bacterial diversity will then be evaluated in parallel with relative abundance of targeted species within and among individual microbes.	One year
