Metagenomics is the study of genetic material obtained directly from complex environmental or human samples (such as soil, water, or gastrointestinal tract samples). Metagenomic sequencing provides insights not only into species identification, classification, and quantification of microbes, but also into functional genes, inter-sample gene variation and metabolic pathways.
Applications
Study the functions of the microbiota in health and disease
Investigate microbe-plant interactions across different environments
Explore the roles of microorganisms in environmental protection
Develop new microbial strains with specialized functions

Our Comprehensive Service
At LC Sciences, we offer a genome-wide microRNA expression profiling service utilizing a microarray detection system that was developed specifically for microRNA detection. Send us your total RNA sample and we’ll perform all the necessary functions from sample QC through data analysis. We can perform microarray analysis on a single sample to create a simple expression profile or we can hybridize two samples to the same microarray for “dual sample” analysis. This is very useful whenever comparison of two samples is needed such as wildtype vs. mutant or samples treated in two different ways.
Our “Total RNA to Data” comprehensive service includes: Sample QC, Sample Preparation and Labeling, microRNA Detection (hybridization to a µParaflo® microfluidics chip), Array Scan and Data Extraction, and Full Data Analysis.
In about 2-3 weeks you will receive: original and processed scan images, array layout and a list of sequences, raw and processed data, a list of differentially expressed transcripts (dual sample arrays only), and a summary of the results.
