π Shotgun Metagenomics Sequencing β MR DNA
High-Resolution Microbiome Analysis Without Limits
At MR DNA, we offer shotgun metagenomic sequencing to help you uncover the complete genetic landscape of microbial communities. Unlike targeted 16S or ITS sequencing, shotgun metagenomics allows for unbiased detection of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea β with the ability to analyze functional genes, resistance markers, and metabolic pathways.
Whether you’re exploring gut health, soil microbiomes, or industrial ecosystems, MR DNA delivers fast, accurate, and affordable metagenome sequencing with bioinformatics included.
π¬ What Is Shotgun Metagenomics?
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing captures all DNA in a sample β providing species-level taxonomic profiling and functional gene analysis without PCR bias.
It enables:
-
β Identification of microbes, viruses, and eukaryotes
-
β Discovery of low-abundance or novel organisms
-
β Functional profiling: resistance genes, virulence factors, metabolic pathways
-
β Genome reconstruction from complex communities
π§ͺ MR DNA Shotgun Metagenomics Workflow
Step | Description |
