INVIEW Metagenome Explore

This option is designed for broad taxonomic profiling of all organisms present in a microbiome. It includes 10 million read pairs, which is suitable for:

  • Low-complexity metagenomes
  • Gaining a broad overview of microbial genera in more complex communities

Explore is ideal for projects focused primarily on identifying which organisms are present, without requiring functional or resistance analysis. For deeper insight, additional sequencing depth can be achieved by ordering extra read packages.

 

INVIEW Metagenome Advance

This package includes comprehensive taxonomic analysis along with detailed insights into:

  • Antibiotic resistance genes
  • Functional profiling of microbial communities

Advance is tailored for complex metagenomes where both community structure and functional characteristics are of interest. Applications include:

  • Detection and quantification of resistance factors in natural or clinical environments
  • Analysis of biological functions and metabolic pathways within microbial communities

As with Explore, 10 million read pairs are included, with the option to add more if necessary. Please note that the required sequencing depth may vary significantly depending on sample complexity and host DNA contamination. In such cases, additional sequencing may be required to achieve robust and reliable results.
