Amplicon Sequencing Services

Amplicon sequencing is based on NGS technology or PacBio SMRT sequencing. The ultra-deep sequencing of amplicons (PCR products) allows efficient variant identification and characterization. This technique has a wide range of applications, including 16S/18S/ITS gene sequencing, SNP genotyping, CRISPR sequencing, somatic/complex variant discovery, antibody screening sequencing, immune repertoire sequencing, et al.

Whether you would like to detect the diversity of microbial communities or discover rare somatic mutations in complex samples. CD Genomics could provide professional, cost-efficient and high-speed amplicon sequencing services to meet your project requirements.

Key Features and Advantages

  • Providing high-sensitive detection levels through ultra-deep sequencing
  • Achieving high coverage by sequencing hundreds of thousands of amplicons per reaction
  • Cost-efficient and fast turnaround time
  • Microbial culture is not necessary
  • Wide range of amplicons from 100 bp to 10 kb

Sample Types

Purified or unpurified PCR products, fragmented DNA, gDNA, restriction digested material, and plasmids.

Information analysis process For diversity detection
  • Data quality control
  • OTU clustering
  • Alpha Diversity (Sample complexity analysis)
  • Beta Diversity (Multi-sample comparative analysis, PCoA/PCA/NMDS/Simper)
  • Analysis of species differences between groups (T-test/Metastat/LEfSe)
  • Analysis of community structure differences between groups (Anosim/MRPP/Adonis/Amova)
  • Correlation analysis of environmental factors (Spearman/Mantel test/CCA/RDA/dbRDA/VPA)
  • Network analysis
  • Function prediction (PICRUSt/FAPROTAX/Tax4fun/FunGuild)
  • Advanced analysis (enterotype analysis/ Bayesian analysis)
