  • Microbial quantitation
    Patent number: 11984197
    Abstract: In various embodiments of an analytics system, a spike-in including synthetic constructs of nucleic acid is added to soil samples for processing. The analytics system determines sequence reads classified to a microbe in the soil sample. The analytics system determines one or more measures of soil texture of the soil sample, for example, indicating percentages of sand, silt, and clay. The analytics system determines a measure of the microbe as a function of at least the classified sequence reads, the one or more measures of soil texture, and a mass of the spike-in. The analytics system can transmit the measure of the microbe to a client device for display on a user interface. A field where the soil sample was obtained can be treated according to the measure of the microbe.

  • SOIL HEALTH INDICATORS USING MICROBIAL FUNCTIONAL GENES
    Publication number: 20230014657
    Abstract: In various embodiments, an analytics system determines nucleic acid sequence reads of genetic material in a soil sample from a geographical location. The analytics system determines a first set of measures of a plurality of gene functions represented in the nucleic acid sequence reads. The analytics system determines a second set of measures of a plurality of metabolic pathways of microorganisms present in soil at the geographical location. The analytics system determines a third set of measures of a plurality of soil health indicators of the soil at the geographical location, the plurality of soil health indicators including a plurality of levels of granularity. The analytics system determines a measure of an agronomic attribute of the soil at the geographical location as a function of the first, second, and third sets of measures.
