Shotgun Metagenomics Analysis
Shotgun Metagenomic analysis makes possible to access all nucleic acid information contained in a sample. All of the total genomic material obtained by this method is sequenced and then the desired information is reached with the databases for target organism groups or genes. The amount of data to be obtained and the methods of analysis vary according to the content of the sample and the desired information. Massive bioinformatics provides shotgun metagenome analysis with both short readings and long readings.
Massive Bioinformatics offers metagenomic analyzes standardized using Illumina systems as well as long amplicons produced with Oxford Nanopore technology. Shotgun sequencing methods stand out in metagenomic analyzes for organisms such as viruses that do not have protected regions. In addition, it is possible to achieve many different purposes such as the discovery of new enzymes, the detection of antimicrobial resistance genes, the formation of the entire genome of the microorganisms in the environment, and time-dependent change analyzes.

Bioinformatics Analyzes
Species Diversity and Identification
Identification of species in the sample, determination of how much of the genome of these species is covered
Long Reads
Depending on the DNA quality, long readings of up to 200 kb are possible. Longer readings are essential for high accuracy and reliable results in mixed samples with a large amount of genetic material.
Whole Genome Analysis
As a result of the shotgun metagenomic analysis, it is possible to perform all genome analyzes for sufficiently represented organisms and to perform comparative studies on these genomes.
Functional Analyzes
Using the results obtained with customized databases and advanced search algorithms, it is possible to reach functional information of genes.
