Reports include csv files, pie charts, plots, and other data visualizations:
- Single molecule quantification
- Reference-based taxonomic classifications
- Operational taxonomic unit (OTU) tables
- Rarefaction analysis
- RAD analysis
- Alpha diversity analysis (Shannon and Simpson)
- Raw data as FASTA and FASTQ files
- See real data in an interactive report for 8 single-species samples from ATCC and for a ZymoBIOMICS Mock Community Standard (note the reproducibility - the same sample is run in 24 wells)
Classify Archaeal Species with our 16S/18S rRNA Gene Sequencing Service
We will use our LoopSeq single molecule-counting long-read 16S/18S Ribosomal DNA kit to sequence your microbiome samples to determine the type and relative abundance of bacterial and archaeal species. We can accept purified DNA from gut, skin, soil, marine or other sources.
16S rRNA Gene Sequencing and Data Analysis
Service description: We will use our LoopSeq single
molecule-counting long-read 16S Ribosomal DNA kit to sequence your
microbiome samples to determine the type and relative abundance of
bacterial and archaeal species. We can accept purified DNA from gut,
skin, soil, marine or other sources.
Advantages:
- Higher sensitivity than other 16s services as we interrogate the entire 16s molecule V1-V9 with our single molecule counting long-read technology
- 40x lower error when compared to Illumina library prep
- Cost-effective
- Fast turnaround
Region Coverage: Full 16s molecule, all V1-V9 variable regions
Deliverables:
Our standard analysis includes CSV files with (1) Single molecule
quantification of abundance based on Unique molecular Identifiers
(UMI's), eliminating amplification biases, (2) Reference based taxonomic
classification based on nine variable regions (V1-V9 data in 16S) and
long-reads in Metagenomic sequencing, (3) OTU tables, (4) Rarefaction
analysis, (5) RAD analysis, as well as pie chart visualizations of
classification and quantification.(5) Raw data as FASTA and FASTQ files.
Sample Submission: High quality genomic DNA , a minimum of 10ng as quantified by Qubit 2.0, or 1ng DNA from skin
