Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing

Microbial Metagenomics and Whole Genome Sequencing Service Flyer

In shotgun metagenomic sequencing, genomes from environmental samples are analysed, without the prior isolation and cultivation of individual species. Therefore, it is a powerful technique for studying microbial communities in their natural habitat. 16S/18S/ITS amplicon metagenomic sequencing is frequently used to identify and differentiate microbial species. Short (<500 bp) hypervariable regions of conserved genes are amplified by PCR and analysed using next generation sequencing (NGS) technology.

Unfolding the Microbial World: A Journey through Sequencing Applications

The microbial world is teeming with an estimated one trillion species, only a fraction of which, approximately 155,000, have been sequenced so far. For researchers interested in the microbiome, the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and advanced data analysis methods presents an unparalleled opportunity to delve deeper into the intricacies of the microbial universe – whether you are interested in a single species or a microbial community. NGS serves as a pivotal tool, allowing us to dissect microbial communities, unravelling their complexities and unveiling their profound impact on diverse ecosystems.

In this webinar we will talk about myriad microbial sequencing options such as microbial whole genome sequencing, metagenomics, and metatranscriptomics. We will also discuss recent advances in the field such as the applications of long-read sequencing and highlight Novogene’s diverse microbial sequencing solutions to aid your research.

Learning Objectives:

• Explore sequencing options for individual microbial species or communities
• Discover recent advances in microbial sequencing technologies
• Understand workflow and analysis pipelines for microbial sequencing.

Long-read sequencing, the next era of genomics

In this webinar, guest speaker Thea Zieglar, Sequencing Application Sales Specialist at PacBio, and Shi-qi Ann, Deputy Product Marketing Director at Novogene, will guide you through HiFi long-read sequencing with the PacBio Revio.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the principle and advantages of highly accurate long-read sequencing to explore the full spectrum of genetic variation
• Gain an overview of our most important applications, as well as possible options for whole genome sequencing, targeted sequencing, RNA sequencing and microbial genomics
• Understand how PacBio long-read sequencing of extended 16S amplicons enables identification of metagenome community members at higher taxonomic resolution than common methods
• Learn how Kinnex full-length RNA and single-cell RNA sequencing enables scientists to capture full-length isoforms, elucidating isoform diversity in development and disease.
