Why choose metagenomics?

Metagenomics allows the analysis of the diversity and functioning of microbial communities directly in their environment, without prior culturing. It offers a deep understanding of the composition, interactions, and functions of the microbiome, paving the way for major applications in human and animal health, dermocosmetics, environmental studies, and industrial biotechnologies.

Metagenomics: Our Expertise

Our experience has allowed us to develop and refine robust methodologies tailored to the uniqueness of each sample type, ensuring the relevance and reliability of your results

You will be supported by a multidisciplinary team of experts in bioinformatics and microbiology, ensuring comprehensive and personalized project support.

Quality assurance, the core of our approach

We have implemented a systematic and thorough internal quality control system to validate the performance of our protocols and ensure the integrity of your results.

You will benefit from clear and interactive results, designed for in-depth understanding and optimal use of your data.

GCLP-compliant

rigorous &
traceable analyses

Methodologies adapted to every sample type

Each biological or environmental matrix is unique and requires a specific approach. Through our expertise, we have developed optimized protocols for various matrices:

Gut microbiota

Skin microbiota

Soils microbiota

Others

Other sample types? Our experience allows us to adapt our methods to a wide variety of samples.

Our Strength: Fully controlled end-to-end analyses

Quality control

A negative control is systematically included to detect cross-contamination and ensure the integrity of the analyses. Each batch also includes a positive control (standardized microbial community) to validate sample preparation, calibrate bioinformatics tools, and assess the sensitivity and specificity of the analytical pipelines.

Actionable deliverables

Results are made understandable and annotated by our PhD experts. An optional oral presentation is available to help contextualize the findings, regardless of your level of expertise in bioinformatics.

More technologies, more personalisation

We offer DNA sequencing technologies fully tailored to your analytical goals : Illumina (short-read) for high-throughput, accurate sequencing, and PacBio (long-read) for high-resolution insights, ideal for detailed microbial genome characterization.

Depending on the level of analysis required, our protocols are available in metabarcoding (16S, 18S, ITS) for a targeted approach, or shotgun metagenomics for a comprehensive exploration of microbial diversity, both taxonomic and functional.

Additionally, sequencing depth is adjusted to your specific needs, taking into account the richness and complexity of the microbiota under study(whether human, animal, plant, or environmental in origin).
