Metagenomics services

We provide a microbial sequencing service of bacterial consortia by 16S rRNA and fungal composition by ITS protocols from wide spectra of sources, including, but not limited to, environmental, soil, plant, and food samples. We also offer small genomes Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and shotgun sequencing service.

We provide comprehensive customer NGS services, consultation, and research to develop optimized project protocols for any microbial community of interest. In our facility, we possess state-of-the-art iSeq 100 and MiSeq Systems (Illumina).

• Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) services, including:
  • Amplicon sequencing (16S rRNA & ITS)
  • 16S Gut Microbiome Analysis
  • Whole Genome Sequencing of small genomes
  • Shotgun metagenome sequencing
• Microbe viability
• Molecular biology services:
  • Microbe DNA/RNA extraction from different food, environmental and plant matrices
  • Real-time PCR (SYBR Green qPCR and TaqMan)
  • Microbe viability qPCR

Our bioinformatic services consist of reference-assisted clustering, taxonomic classification, and diversity analysis with extensive data visualization. Upon request, we can determine live communities’ composition with their absolute quantification.

Single samples to hundreds of samples can be sequenced and analyzed in rapid turnaround times. Different technological chains can be checked for quality or manufacturing conditions in order to evaluate the presence of bacteria or fungi, test microbiological parameters, or evaluate fluctuations in the processes.
