Long-Read Metagenomic Sequencing

Service Description:

Metagenomics sequencing is the way to do genomic analysis of microbial DNA from environmental communities. It enables the population analysis of un-culturableor previously unknown microbes and allows researchers to comprehensively sample all genes in all organisms present in a given complex sample.

Omics Drive provides long-read metagenomics sequencing service on PacBio SMRT System in a culture-free method. Long-read metagenomics sequencing help scientists generating new insights into thefunction and pathway facets of the microbiome, trying to understand and elucidate the relations between microbes and its habitat/ host. Long-read metagenomics sequencing is a powerful way to obtain microbial genomes with the highest accuracy and reliability.

Key Features and Advantages:

  • Longest average read lengths, with~50% of reads longer than 50kb, which exceeds the size of repetitive elements in the average bacterial genome.

  • Identify full-length genes within a microbial community using long-read metagenomic profiling with no assembly required

  • No DNA amplification.

  • Highest consensus accuracy, low sequencing-context bias

Bioinformatics Analysis:

  • Gene prediction

  • Non-redundant Gene Catalog

  • Functional annotation: KEGG, eggNOG, CAZy

  • Taxonomic annotation

  • Pathway, Heatmap, PCA, Clustering
