METAGENOMICS ANALYSIS EXPERTSYour study deserves the best!

Next generation sequencing is used to rapidly analyze the variety of microbial communities and determine the significance of individual species in metagenomics. We provide a range of metagenomics services, ranging from targeted tests (16S for prokaryotes and ITS2 for fungi) to whole genome analysis.

Over the years, CosmosID has used metagenomic analysis to support countless organizations to publish new studies, develop new products & therapeutics as well as help diagnose over 1500 patients using an industry-leading bioinformatics pipeline and high-quality sequencing. Our goal is to provide our clients with affordable solutions, a seamless customer experience and the highest resolution microbiome data!

Multi-kingdom identification for every sample, every time
Precision filtering for confidence thresholds
fastQC results for data quality reporting
Exportable abundance values, charts & visualizations including sunburts, bubble charts & stacked bar graphs
Unlimited comparative analysis software, complete with Heatmaps, 3D PCA, Alpha Diversity plots & Beta Diversity PCoA

Sequencing Services

At CosmosID, we offer a range of sequencing services that cover a range of metagenomic approaches. Our sequencing services cover a range of different sample types and have been extensively researched.
Amplicon Sequencing

Like many metagenomic approaches, amplicon sequencing offers unique advantages to microbiome researchers including cost-effectiveness and the creation of comprehensive taxonomic profiles.

Shallow Shotgun Sequencing

Shallow Shotgun Sequencing allows researchers to unlock the microbiome with better species level resolution than 16S sequencing whilst also maintaining cost effectiveness. This makes it a powerful choice for large cohort studies that focus on human health, such as the gut microbiome.

Deep Shotgun Sequencing

In deep shotgun sequencing, whole DNA is extracted from a sample then exposed to random fragmentation prior to Next Generation Sequencing to gain an exponential amount of metagenomics data and advantages alongside it.

Bacterial Isolate Sequencing

Whole Genome Sequencing of bacterial isolates offers unique advantages over traditional typing methods. Unlike PCR, this technology identifies the complete genetic makeup of an organism and offers unprecedented insight into the different types of microbial diversity .

Exceptional Bioinformatics

Through unrivaled sensitivity and precision, the CosmosID metagenomics pipeline is validated to return strain-level resolution of bacteria, viruses, phages, fungi, protists, bacterial MAGs as well as AMR & Virulence genes. The power of the platform has been demonstrated in 3 key community challenges:
