Gut Bacteria 16S Sequencing Service
An intricate and diverse community of microorganisms, the gut microbiota, which exhibit a notable effect on the host during homeostasis and disease, are housed in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Various factors lead to the creation during the childhood of the human gut microbiota. Diet is regarded to be one of the primary drivers of lifetime molding of the gut microbiota. In the maintenance of immune and metabolic homeostasis and protection against pathogens, intestinal bacteria perform an important part. The pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases and infections has been linked with modified gut bacterial structure (dysbiosis). The analysis of this research is based on a greater comprehension of inter-individual variants, bacterial populations' heterogeneity along and across the GI tract, functional redundancy, and the need to differentiate between cause and effect in dysbiosis states.
Bacterial 16S Amplicon Sequencing
The 16s rRNA gene, an extremely preserved element, is the most utilized gene marker in bacteria and archaea for genus and species classification and taxonomic importance. For hypervariable areas, the approximated substitution rate is roughly 7000 times greater than for highly conserved areas, which includes abundant taxonomic data based on these genetic distinctions. To ascertain taxonomic classifications relying on bioinformatics configurations, the 16S gene amplicons acquired from PCR can thus be employed.
16S rRNA gene sequencing aims a type of amplicon sequencing and reads an area of the 16S rRNA gene located in all bacteria and archaea, meaning only these kinds of microorganisms can be identified by this method of sequencing. 16S rRNA sequencing output offers sequencing 'reads' (DNA sequence strings) that can be analyzed using an amount of basic bioinformatic stages that can be combined known as "pipelines". To 'clean' the information that can then be connected to microbial genomic datasets in order to correctly classify and profile the bacteria (and archaea) present in the samples, these bioinformatic pipelines eliminate sequencing errors or questionable readings.
