Claim One:
1. A method for at least one of characterizing, diagnosing, and treating an autoimmune condition in at least a subject, the method comprising: for each of an aggregate set of samples from a population of subjects: determining a microorganism nucleic acid sequence, comprising: identifying primers for nucleic acid sequences associated with the autoimmune condition, fragmenting nucleic acid material from the sample, and amplifying the fragmented nucleic acid material using the identified primers; and determining an alignment of the microorganism nucleic acid sequence to a reference nucleic acid sequence associated with the autoimmune condition; generating a microbiome composition dataset and a microbiome functional diversity dataset for the population of subjects based on the; receiving a supplementary dataset, associated with the population of subjects, wherein the supplementary dataset is informative of characteristics associated with the autoimmune condition; transforming the supplementary dataset and features extracted from at least one of the microbiome composition dataset and the microbiome functional diversity dataset into a characterization model of the autoimmune condition; based upon the characterization model, generating a therapy model configured to improve a state of the autoimmune condition; and at an output device associated with the subject providing a therapy to the subject with the autoimmune condition, based upon processing a sample from the subject with the characterization model and the therapy model, wherein the therapy modulates microbiome composition to improve a state of the autoimmune condition.
