metagenome / metatranscriptome analysis
Understanding the microbiome immune-inflammation axis is becoming more and more important for drug discovery and development for several therapeutic areas and may ultimately lead to microbiome-derived companion diagnostics
In addition, understanding microbiome-drug interaction is another element to Precision Medicine
We are offering state of the art technologies to address these questions
Targeted MGX
- High-throuput sequencing on Illna MiSeq platform
- Amplicon-based appraoch
- Targets:
- 16S region for bacterial profiling
- ITS region for fungal profiling
Whole MGX sequencing
- Shot-gun sequencing of while metagonome
- Ollumina NovaSeq platform
- De-novo assembly
- Metatranscriptome sequencing for metabolic profiling
Bacterial Load
- Absolute qualification of bacterial sequences
- qPCR-based approach on ViiA7 platform (ABI)
- For quantitative interpretation of targeted MGx results
