Bring New Insights for the Microbial World
Microorganisms are present in almost all environments. They are important for industrial fermentation, medical health and bioengineering. Genomic sequencing provides us with a powerful insight into the genetic makeup of the microbial world. We provide a broad array of microbial genomics solutions to help our clients understand how microbes impact humans and the environment, and then better make use of them.
The Benefits of Microbial Genomics
The development of genomic technology has facilitated the understanding of the composition and characteristics of microbial communities. Current results indicate that less than 1% of microorganisms can grow alone under standard laboratory conditions. In contrast, microbial genomics provides a more complete profile of the organisms involved in the community and can describe population characteristics more quickly. In addition, new species could be identified using genomics technologies.
Solutions for Microbial Genomics
Microbial Genomics Methods
16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing
16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing is used for the identification, classification, and quantitation of microorganisms, as well as characterization of microbial community structure.
Metagenomics has been developed to elucidate the genomes of the non-cultured microbes since the not-yet-cultivated microbes represent an intriguing resource.
Metatranscriptomics enables us to profile community-wide gene expression, monitor RNA-based regulation and biological signatures in complex bacterial communities.
Microbial whole genome sequencing
Microbial whole genome sequencing can be used for precise microbial identification, construction of complete reference genomes, comparative microbial genomics studies, and genomic exploitation.
Whole-genome sequencing of pathogens is becoming increasingly important for basic research, development of novel vaccines and treatments, and patient care in a clinical setting.
Long-read microbial sequencing
The emerging long-read sequencing technologies, such as PacBio SMRT sequencing and Nanopore sequencing, help characterize regions that are difficult to assess with NGS approaches.
