Deeper shotgun metagenomic characterization of up to 7 stool samples, providing an analysis of the variability of functions over time. This could be a great opportunity to see if fasting or extreme diet has an effect on your microbes! We would recommend doing this as a timeseries, either daily, weekly or monthly, to track how you’re doing when you travel or when you change your diet (those New Year’s resolutions again!)
