In the world of genomics, and particularly genomics sequencing, few technologies have had greater impact than that of Illumina Sequencing (also known as a technique called Sequencing by Synthesis (SBS)). By successfully implementing massively parallel sequencing, Illumina Sequencing increased the throughput of genomics sequencing exponentially, propelling the field of genomics into an era of increased...
In the captivating world of microbiology, two primary methods have emerged to study the composition, structure, and function of microbial communities: 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing and metagenomics. This article will delve into a comparative analysis of these two techniques. We will explore their fundamental principles and methodologies of each sequencing method, before looking...
Clinical Microbiomics A/S, a leading innovator in bioinformatics and systems biology for the microbiome field based in Copenhagen, Denmark, announces the merger with CosmosID Inc, a leading CLIA-certified, GxP-compliant microbiome CRO based in Germantown, Maryland, United States.
While the world is at the grasp of the global obesity epidemic, childhood malnutrition persists as a pressing issue. A recent article published on National Geographic expressing expert opinion on a solution to malnutrition lies beyond providing sufficient calories and may involve the gut microbiome. As a result, researchers have developed food supplements to enhance...
Understanding the maturation of healthy skin during childhood has long been a subject of scientific interest. To address this knowledge gap, researchers conducted a comprehensive study in Germany, investigating skin parameters across various age groups. The research team employed CosmosID for the skin microbiome sequencing, providing valuable insights into the maturation process.
Have you heard of microbiome targeted sequencing? It’s a powerful tool for understanding the world around us, and it is becoming increasingly popular in the medical community. Microbiome targeted sequencing is a process that uses DNA sequencing to identify specific microbial communities in different environments. By targeting these microorganisms, scientists can better understand how they...
The field of microbiome-based therapeutics is flourishing. The recent approval of Seres Therapeutics’ drug, Vowst, against C. difficile infections has spearheaded the interest in microbiome-based therapeutics. The recent development of microbiome-based therapeutics may have contributed to a rising trend of reclassifying microbiome probiotics as pharmaceuticals. The European Union (EU) is witnessing significant progress in...
Special thanks to Eray Şahin for the bioinformatics analysis of data. This guide will discuss the impact of delivery mode and feeding method on infant gut microbiome establishment, a study conducted by researchers from the University of California Davis. The research team used The CosmosID Metagenomics App to analyze microbial samples collected from infants...
New research has found a way to predict the impact of prebiotics on the human gut microbiota within days, using an ex vivo, reactor-based, high-throughput SIFR® (Systemic Intestinal Fermentation Research) technology. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the research, its method, and what it means for the future of prebiotic research....
Urban areas are home to a variety of microbial ecosystems, yet our understanding of the diversity and complexity of these communities is limited. Recent research has suggested that honeybees may provide an effective sampling tool for urban microbiomes. In this blog, we will explore the background, results, and potential applications of this research. ...
