Shotgun metagenomic sequencing<\/strong> provides information on the total genomic DNA from all organisms in a sample, avoiding the need for isolation and cultivation of microorganisms or amplification of target regions. This is crucial because it is believed that nearly 99% of all microorganisms cannot be cultivated in the laboratory. Unlike the targeted approach used in the 16S\/18S\/ITS amplicon sequencing<\/a>, shotgun metagenomic sequencing<\/strong> uses next-generation sequencing (NGS)<\/strong> technology to provide not only information on the taxonomic annotations of each organism, but also the functional profiling, gene prediction and microbial interaction of the whole community.<\/p>\n

With extensive experience and well-developed bioinformatics pipelines, our services can help you determine the genomes, functions, and variations of microorganisms from diverse samples. Novogene’s shotgun metagenomic sequencing<\/strong> service delivers high-quality data, publication-ready results, and personalized analysis to meet different research objectives. Novogene offers comprehensive metagenomics solutions, from the study of community structure and species classification to system evolution<\/strong>, gene function<\/strong>, and metabolic network of environmental microorganisms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
