US Patent Issued to Institute of Systems Biology on Oct. 7 for "Weight loss potential prediction from gut microbiome data" (Washington Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,437,877, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to Institute of Systems Biology (Seattle).

"Weight loss potential prediction from gut microbiome data" was invented by Christian Diener (Seattle) and Sean M. Gibbons (Seatle, Wash.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Predicting a weight loss potential from gut microbiome data is described herein. In an example, a system accesses gut microbiome metagenomic sequence data for a subject and determines a measurement of one or more weight loss features from the gut microbiome metagenomic sequence data. The one or more weight loss features define a gut microbiome signature for weight loss response for the subje...
