Advances in DNA sequencing have expanded our view of the microbial world, but the inability to cultivate most microbes has ...

In the largest study of its kind, the diagnostic yield of mNGS was greater than conventional test methods mNGS alone identified 34% more pathogens than all direct-detection methods combined 72% of ...

The term was coined by Jo Handelsman and colleagues in 1998 to describe the application of genomic methods to the total DNA—the metagenome—of a microbial community. The concept emerged from a ...

Metagenomics is a revolutionary approach that allows scientists to examine the microbial composition of environmental or clinical samples. While this method enables them to characterize previously ...

Scientists developed a genetic tool that can quickly identify nearly any type of pathogenic infection, including those caused by bacteria, fungi, parasite, or virus. This approach can make it easier ...

Next-generation metagenomic sequencing test developed at UCSF proves its effectiveness in quickly diagnosing almost any kind of pathogen. A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect ...

The landscape of metagenomics and microbiome research is evolving at breakneck speed. As sequencing technologies improve and the demand for high-resolution, bias-free microbial data grows, the ...

Metagenomics relies on the use of software programs called assemblers, which can reconstruct tens of thousands of individual microbial genomes from DNA sequencing of samples such as soil, bodily ...

With any-length reads of DNA and RNA, from short to ultra-long, you can finally characterize the full diversity of our microbial world. In this White Paper, find out how nanopore sequencing is ...
