at least one of a
microbiome composition dataset and a
microbiome functional diversity dataset for the population of subjects S120; receiving a supplementary dataset, associated with

at least one of the
microbiome composition dataset and the
microbiome functional diversity dataset into a characterization model of the autoimmune condition S140.
