The composition of microbial communities can provide critical information about their local environment, whether that environment is the human gut1, an airplane cabin2, or a freshwater lake.3 As abundance of specific species rise and fall, they can signal disease and/or promote pathogenesis.
HudsonAlpha Discovery enables a broad range of microbiome studies with our metagenomic sequencing services, including whole genome shotgun metagenomic sequencing4 and metatranscriptomics.3
