Metagenomics can leverage next generation sequencing to rapidly analyze the diversity of microbial communities and elucidate the role of constituent species. We offer a suite of metagenomics solutions ranging from targeted assays (16S for prokaryotes and ITS2 for fungi) to whole genome analysis. Learn more below to see which service best fits your needs.

Coming soon! Full-length 16S sequencing for sub-species resolution. Please inquire for more details.
With the addition of the new, enhanced bioinformatics analysis and report, 16S-EZ delivers industry-leading analysis of microbiome diversity and composition. This improved report takes the tedium out of dendrogram and graph creation, allowing you to analyze your data faster. An example report is available for viewing by clicking the button below.
The enhanced report includes the following information:
We compared GENEWIZ’s 16S MetaVx Environmental service against a traditional V4-only assay. 16S MetaVx Environmental consistently detected a greater number of bacteria and archaea, demonstrating its superior sensitivity and specificity.
Download NowThe rapid and wide-spread evolution of antibiotic resistance is threatening global health. In this webinar, presented by Dr. Mato Lagator, Wellcome Trust, Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellow, University of Manchester, you will learn about different approaches to study evolutionary processes that underpin the emergence of resistance. Special focus is given on how these methods can be utilized to improve drug development and longevity.
