Microbiome Insights Sample Report:

Shallow Shotgun Metagenome Sequencing

Each shallow shotgun sequencing project will include the following deliverables as standard:

  • Sequencing QC information
  • Trimmed, host DNA-depleted, adaptor-removed FASTQ data
  • Relative abundance tables of taxa generated via mapping to a curated reference database; species and genus assignments where available
  • Functional profiles, reported as KEGG orthology groups, modules, and pathways where available, or SEED Subsystems

In addition we can also assist with more advanced analyses, including: 

  • Microbiome analysis summarizing: (i) alpha diversity (Shannon Diversity Index) and (ii) the most abundant taxonomic groups in each specimen.
  • Beta-diversity analysis (unsupervised ordinations and PERMANOVA) of taxonomic and functional profiles based on study variables of interest
  • Differential abundance analysis of functional and taxonomic features based on study variables of interest

Your data is stored on Microbiome Insights’ own servers (on-site in British Columbia, Canada) and securely transferred to you via our Nextcloud platform. Reports are delivered as html files.
