Let’s discuss your project<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Why choose metagenomics?<\/h1>\n\n

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

More technologies, more personalisation<\/h3>\n\n

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

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

Additionally, sequencing depth is adjusted to your specific needs, taking into account the richness and complexity of the microbiota<\/strong> under study(whether human, animal, plant, or environmental in origin).<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
