Microbiome Profiling Service

We accept a wide range of samples including human or animal stool, tissue biopsies, soil, water, and swabs. The specific extraction protocol is scoped per project to match your sample matrix.

Yes, when host RNA-seq data are provided, we can perform integrated analysis to correlate microbial taxa and functions with host gene expression patterns. This is scoped during the initial project discussion.

When samples are processed across multiple sequencing runs, we apply appropriate batch correction methods (e.g., ComBat, RUVseq) and include batch covariates in statistical models to minimize technical variation.

For 16S amplicon data, classification typically reaches genus level with high confidence; genus and species-level assignment depends on reference database coverage. Shotgun metagenomics allows strain-level classification when sufficient coverage is achieved.

Project timelines are scoped during the consultation based on sample number, sequencing depth, and analysis complexity. We will provide an estimated schedule in your project proposal.

Yes, all raw FASTQ files are delivered along with processed data (count tables, abundance profiles) to ensure full data ownership and transparency.
