Metagenomic Sequencing

Metagenomic Sequencing

Metagenomic sequencing is used to analyze the genomes of various species found in environmental samples. This powerful technique is used to study microbial communities in their natural habit. At Prism, we can provide the service you need to identify the species, genes and pathways represented in your samples. Our service is provided using the Illumina HiSeq platform with an assembly-first strategy and our bioinformatics analyses provide gene predictions, function annotations and taxonomic annotations. At Prism, we can guarantee high quality service, fast turnaround times at a low cost.
