| Global Microbiome Sequencing Market (BIO183B) |
| 16S/18S/ITS Amplicon Metagenomic Sequencing |
|
Targeted sequencing of specific gene regions (16S rRNA for bacteria, 18S rRNA for eukaryotes, ITS for fungi) to determine microbial composition. Provides taxonomic identification and relative abundance of microbes.
|
| Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing |
|
Sequencing of all DNA in a sample, providing detailed information on microbial diversity, functional potential, and metabolic pathways. Enables gene prediction and microbial interaction analysis.
|
| Metatranscriptome Sequencing |
|
Provides information on the gene expression of the microbial community, allowing researchers to study the active functions of the microbiome. |
