Shotgun Metagenomics Sequencing – MR DNA

🌍 Shotgun Metagenomics Sequencing – 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.


πŸ”¬ 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:

  • βœ… Identification of microbes, viruses, and eukaryotes

  • βœ… Discovery of low-abundance or novel organisms

  • βœ… Functional profiling: resistance genes, virulence factors, metabolic pathways

  • βœ… Genome reconstruction from complex communities


πŸ§ͺ MR DNA Shotgun Metagenomics Workflow

Step Description
DNA Extraction Optional or client-submitted DNA
Library Prep Fragmentation, indexing, adapter ligation
Sequencing Illumina paired-end 150 bp or 300 bp reads (or PacBio on request)
Bioinformatics Taxonomy + functional annotation with visual reports

πŸ“Š What’s Included in the Data Package

  • βœ… Quality-filtered FASTQ files

  • βœ… Host DNA removal (if applicable)

  • βœ… Taxonomic profiling (Kraken2, MetaPhlAn)

  • βœ… Functional pathway mapping (HUMAnN, KEGG, SEED, eggNOG)

  • βœ… Antibiotic resistance gene detection (CARD, ResFinder)

  • βœ… Publication-ready charts: heatmaps, Krona plots, pathway trees


🌱 Applications for Metagenomic Sequencing

  • Human and animal microbiomes (gut, oral, vaginal, skin)

  • Soil, water, wastewater, and air monitoring

  • Built environment and food production

  • Hospital and clinical surveillance

  • Fermentation and probiotic quality control

  • Agricultural microbiome studies


πŸ’° Affordable, All-Inclusive Pricing

MR DNA provides competitive pricing with no hidden fees:

  • πŸ”¬ Library prep, sequencing, and analysis included

  • πŸ“ˆ Flat-rate project pricing for small and large studies

  • 🧠 Expert consultation with every project

  • ⚑ Rapid turnaround: typically 2–3 weeks

We work hard so your data can work harder.
