Metagenomics analysis permits the identification of microorganisms independent of taxonomic markers such as 16S rRNA. Metagenome sequencing enables the identification of both culturable and unculturable organisms, such as bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa and viruses. Although Eurofins Genomics is most experienced in profiling human microbiota, we have also successfully characterised microbial community members from food, industrial and environmental samples.
