The most common and economical approach for analysis of composition of microbial communities. Based on high-throughput sequencing of PCR amplicons for prokaryotic communities (16S V4, V1-V3 or V4_skin), eukaryotic communities (18S), fungal communities (ITS2), and archaeal communities (16S V4-V5).
An advanced approach for analysis of community composition and functional analysis. Based on high-throughput sequencing and analysis of total DNA.
Shallow shotgun metagenome sequencing (SSMS) involves sequencing samples at a shallower depth than is applied in full shotgun metagenome sequencing.
Quantitation of total microbial density or specific microbial populations which targets the whole community, as it provides the absolute abundance of the total bacteria community.
SCFAs may be an integral link between diet, gut microbiota, and human health. Incorporating SCFA testing into your study can help provide additional insights to support your product development or health claim.
