MicrobioSeq represents the microbial genomics division of CD Genomics, headquartered in New York, USA. CD Genomics is a genomics service company with a good reputation for providing reliable de novo sequencing, genotyping, microarray, and bioinformatics services. With years of experience in the pharmaceutical and life science sector, CD Genomics recently announced microbial single-cell genome sequencing to reveal the heterogeneity of microbial populations.
The latest advances in technology based on single-cell sequencing have allowed us to decipher the genetic code and genomic variation of uncultured microorganisms. Traditional 16S/18S/ITS sequencing and metagenomics have limited functions because they can only provide average results and ignore outliers. CD Genomics MicrobioSeq provides microbial single-cell genome sequencing to reveal the heterogeneity of microbial populations. Single-virus genome sequencing can also be used to answer biological questions about viral immunities.
“Single-cell sequencing methods have led to a massive shift in the field of microbial genomics, from microbial population analysis to comprehensive research on individual microorganisms. We provide single-cell genome sequencing to decipher the diversity of microorganisms. The workflow of this service generally includes single-cell preparation, cell lysis, single-cell genome amplification, library construction, and whole-genome sequencing. Depending on the type of samples, we utilize advanced flow-assisted cell sorting (FACS), laser-capture microdissection, micromanipulation, or a microfluidic platform to perform single-cell isolation. The isolated cells are subsequently lysed, and each genome is amplified through whole-genome amplification (WGA) methods (multiple-displacement-amplification (MDA) or MALBAC). After WGA, the amplified DNA is used to create libraries for Illumina sequencing. ” said the chief scientist of CD Genomics.
In addition to the above, CD Genomics also provides single-virus genome sequencing to study the diversity of viruses and the evolution of viral genomes. Coupled with microbial single-cell genome sequencing and single-virus genome sequencing, CD Genomics can help you discover low-abundance microbial members, reveal phylogenetic relationships, infer microbial evolution, and explore potential biosynthetic/metabolic processes. It has been widely used in scientific research, epidemiology, human health, drug development, and other fields.
