Shotgun metagenomic sequencing is a powerful technique that analyzes the complete DNA content of all organisms within a sample, eliminating the need for microbial isolation or cultivation. This approach is particularly valuable, as approximately 99% of microorganisms are uncultivable under standard laboratory conditions. By employing next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, shotgun metagenomics provides detailed species-level taxonomic annotations, functional profiling, gene prediction, and identification of antimicrobial resistance genes, offering profound insights into microbial community interactions.

Applications of Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing

● Microbial Community Profiling: Gain insights into the taxonomic and functional composition of complex microbial ecosystems.
● Health and Environmental Monitoring: Detect microorganisms pertinent to human health, environmental remediation, and sustainable energy production.
● Pharmaceutical Research: Explore microbial genetic blueprints and metabolic pathways to inform drug discovery and development.
● Host-Microbe Interaction Studies: Investigate the intricate relationships between microbes and their hosts, facilitating advancements in therapeutics and personalized medicine.

Our tests include:

● 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing: Targets the 16S ribosomal RNA gene, present in all bacteria and archaea, to profile bacterial and archaeal communities.
● 18S rRNA Gene Sequencing: Focuses on the 18S ribosomal RNA gene found in eukaryotes, aiding in the study of protists and other eukaryotic microorganisms.
● Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) Sequencing: Targets the ITS regions between rRNA genes, which are highly variable, making them suitable for identifying and classifying fungi.

By choosing Sesana Genomics' shotgun metagenomic sequencing services, you are equipped with the tools necessary to advance your research and contribute to a deeper understanding of microbial communities and their roles in various environments.
