Amplicon Metagenomic Sequencing

Amplicon Metagenomic Sequencing

Amplicon metagenomic sequencing is an efficient and economical sequencing method for identifying and comparing bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. NGS-based analysis allows for taxonomic comparisons of complex microbiomes or cluster diversities within an environment that are difficult or impossible to culture and provides visual and statistical indicators to aid researchers' understanding. If Amplicon sequencing is not using a universal primer set, sufficient consultation is required for experimentation and analysis.

Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing

Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing based on NGS can comprehensively detect genes from all organisms, including uncultivable microorganisms or those in complex environments, providing information on microbial diversity and functional characteristics to aid in understanding relationships between microorganisms and their environments. It provides contig-level assembly of all organisms present in the sample, and gene annotation is performed by predicting CDS regions on the genome and utilizing databases such as UniProt, RefSeq, and Pfam.

Application

  • Identification of microbial community diversity in the environmnet
  • Metagenome assembled genomes

NGS-based microbiome research has the challenge of misclassifying at the species level due to the short read length, despite the advantage of low cost. PacBio's Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing can decode approximately 1.5 Kbp in the 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA regions, providing highly accurate and high-resolution profiling results at the species level.
