Explore Microbial Functions, Communities, and Interactions with Life Seq Data
Next-generation sequencing has revolutionized our ability to accurately identify microbial identities, functions, and interactions. At Life Seq Data, we leverage the latest computational methods and databases to help microbiologists tackle complex questions about microbial genomics and their practical applications.
Advancing Microbial Research:
Comprehensive Microbial Genomics
- High-Quality Genome Assembly: Establish a robust genome assembly complete with functional annotations to identify species and strains accurately.
- Core- and Pan-Genomes: Characterize the shared and unique genes of diverse strains to understand microbial diversity.
- Genomic and Functional Associations: Link genomic compositions to growth conditions or clinical variables to discover new insights.
- Novel Gene Identification: Identify new genes, particularly enzymes, for potential industrial or clinical applications.
Metagenomics for Environmental and Host-Associated Microbiomes
- Community Identification: Analyze metagenomic sequence data to identify the microbes in a community, down to species or operational taxonomic units (OTUs).
- Phylogenetic and Functional Composition: Characterize the community’s phylogenetic and functional profiles.
- Diversity and Abundance Comparisons: Compare microbial diversities, functions, and individual OTU abundances across different conditions.
Metatranscriptomics
- Functional Insights: Use RNA-sequencing from isolated strains or microbiomes to interrogate subtle changes in microbial functions, even when genomic compositions remain unchanged.
Pathogenic Microbes
- Host Reaction Studies: Study the host’s response to infection using host RNA-sequencing data.
- Virulence Factor Identification: Identify key virulence factors that contribute to pathogenicity.
- Drug Resistance Genes: Pinpoint genes essential for drug resistance using methods like transposon insertion sequencing.
- Molecular Markers of Drug Resistance: Identify molecular markers, such as surface peptides, indicative of drug resistance.
