Metagenomics

  • 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and 18S rRNA analysis for studying phylogeny and taxonomy of prokaryotes and eukaryotes respectively in a community.
  • Metagenomics analysis to investigate which microbes are present in a microbial community and what genomic functions they are involved in.
  • Metatranscriptomics analysis reports the expression of genes in a specific microbial environment. The transcripts (RNA-seq) from samples inform gene activity and function in a particular environment.
