Spotlight · Resphera Insight

Species-level resolution for 16S rRNA data.

Traditional 16S classifiers typically stop at the genus level or lose accuracy beyond it. Resphera Insight is designed to provide accurate species-level context.

  • Hybrid global–local alignment against a manually curated reference database of over 11,000 unique species.
  • Ambiguous-assignment reporting: when a single species can't be confidently resolved, it lists the candidate species instead of guessing, minimizing false discoveries.
  • Proven across applications, from cancer and gut microbiome research to food safety.

0.5%error vs. closely related species

From a Resphera-led validation study profiling C. difficile burden from short 16S rRNA reads (error rate from simulations of 10,000 reads per species).

Gut ecology

Re-analysis of existing datasets detected C. difficile in roughly 83–85% of active-infection cohorts versus ~8.5% of healthy controls, and mapped negative associations with protective species such as Clostridium scindens and Blautia.

Cancer research

Identified Lactobacillus gasseri/johnsonii enriched in the saliva of head and neck cancer patients, and tracked Fusobacterium nucleatum and low-abundance C. difficile in colorectal tumor biofilms.

Food safety

Detects bacterial contaminants such as Salmonella enterica in food matrices ranging from low-diversity products like ice cream to complex botanicals like cilantro and chili powder.
