Metagenomics

Characterize and classify microorganisms for infectious disease, crop sciences, or environmental impact assessments.

What Is Metagenomics?

Metagenomics is the study of genetic material from microorganisms in heterogeneous samples. Current metagenomic sequencing methods can characterize and classify bacteria, fungi, and viruses coexisting in an environment.

Why Is Studying Metagenomics Important?

Classification and characterization of microbiota can lead to genetic targets for therapeutics, non-hazardous pesticides, and beneficial GMO development.

In vaccine discovery, metagenomics helps identify the causative organism and follow its growth and mutation trajectory.

Metagenomics Tools

16S/ITS Amplicon Sequencing

Best for

Identifying the taxonomy of the bacteria and fungi population within a sample by sequencing the hypervariable regions of the prokaryotic rRNA 16S gene and ITS gene

Benefits

A fast, affordable method to identify the taxonomic community of bacteria and fungi in environmental specimens

Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing

Best for

Sequence full-length genomes of all microorganisms to survey their composition and function within environmental samples, such as soil, water, or microbiome

Benefits

A comprehensive method for identifying the identity and potential function of the entire microbial community

Long-Read Sequencing

Best for

Offering more information about metagenomic samples by producing longer contigs, more complete genes, and better genome binning

Benefits

Use PacBio technology to reduce contig numbers and increasing the completeness of the genome reconstruction
