While 16S analysis is useful for telling us "who is present" within a sample...

Metagenomic analysis reveals total functional potential within a microbial community.

Microbial Community Composition

Quantify and predict microbial community composition within your samples based on metagenomic data.

Gene Annotation

Asses the % of bacteria possessing functional genes of interest within your samples.

Metabolic Pathway Maps

Map your metagenomic data to known metabolic pathways to investigate functional potential within your samples.

Functional pathway heatmaps

Determine the differences in fuctional capablility between you samples based on functional gene abundance data.
