AnimalBiome started as a “citizen-science project” to examine the microbiome of cats’ digestive systems. This project eventually turned into a “Kittybiome” Kickstarter campaign that was launched in 2015 to help pet owners better understand their cats’ health and biology. This campaign is for dog lovers, pet parents, the curious, scientists and more - it’s for people who are eager to support real innovation for pet health and watch it unfold,” Holly mentioned. Of course, next-generation sequencing also generates massive amounts of data that needs to be analyzed in order for conclusions to be drawn. With a solution like this, pet parents will finally be able to better understand and improve their pet’s health based on big data analysis, which is something to certainly be curious about.
