Uncertain about Your Microbe?
To fully exploit and commercialize microbes' unique potential, researchers rely on advanced genome sequencing to unravel the genetic blueprints of entire microbial populations. This enables the identification of crucial genes and the understanding of complex bacterial communities.

If you've isolated a bacterial or fungal strain but are unsure of its identity, microbial whole genome sequencing (WGS) is the ideal starting point. Traditionally performed using short-read sequencing (e.g., Illumina), WGS excels in studying individual genes and genetic variations within strains by comparing them to reference genomes.

Why Choose De novo Sequencing?
When sequencing a novel organism without a reference genome, de novo sequencing is indispensable. This approach creates a new reference sequence from scratch.

Advantages:

• Uncover the unknown: Explore the genetic makeup of entirely new organisms.
• Precise assembly: Accurately reconstruct complex genomic regions.
• Comprehensive analysis: Identify structural variations and genetic rearrangements.
