Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses with many shapes and sizes. They all produce virus particles composed of genetic material, surrounded by a protein shell (capsid), sometimes with a lipid membrane in between. Phage can be divided into double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) phage, single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) phage, double-stranded RNA (ds-RNA) phage, or single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) phage according to the difference of genetic material. Phages are difficult to characterize because all phage genomes do not share a single gene, which limits the application of similar methods to bacterial ribosomal DNA analysis. The low abundance of free DNA and cellular DNA is another challenge. Metagenomic shotgun sequencing and RNA-seq are two methods for characterizing phage communities. Creative Biolabs provides end-to-end phage metagenomic sequencing, which can simultaneously capture DNA and RNA of phage in simple or complex samples. At Creative Biolabs, we provide metagenomic sequencing services includes total nucleic acid extraction, cDNA generation, sequencing, and bioinformatics.
Metagenomic sequencing is a comprehensive sampling of all genes in all organisms present in a given complex sample. It provides information for the functional analysis of all genes through gene ontology and metabolic pathway analysis. Creative Biolabs is committed to providing unprecedented massive sequence data to enable rapid and innovative analysis methods through cost-effective solutions. Our services are listed as follows, but are not limited to:
Shotgun metagenomic sequencing is used for classification analysis (diversity and abundance) and functional analysis. This sophisticated technology allows parallel sequencing of DNA from all organisms in the community, and species-level detection with high coverage. Data generation allows for more advanced reporting and genome assembly.
We use customized separation solutions to separate DNA or RNA from your samples.
