Microbiome Analysis using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has enabled a culture-independent analysis of the microbiome previously not thought possible due to its high-throughput nature and parallel advancements in bioinformatics for data analysis.

Microbiome research and its impact on health continues to grow rapidly as genomic microbial databases grow and further insights are gleaned from basic research and clinical investigations. Targeted sequencing approaches allow researchers to focus their analysis on individual genes or genomic regions. 

Microbiome Sequencing Kits & Bioinformatics Service from Intus Biosciences

Our partner Intus Biosciences offers an easy end-to-end workflow that provides significant improvement over many of the standard protocols that are known to miss microbes or provide biased results. The kits can only be ordered together with a bioinformatics data analysis service using the proprietary Athena Microbial Reference Database.
