Gut Microbiome Testing (16S rRNA)

Service Description

16S rRNA sequencing is a popular method due to its cost-effectiveness and relative simplicity. It involves sequencing a specific part of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene, which is highly conserved across different species of bacteria. This allows for the identification of bacteria present in a sample, typically down to the genus level. The method is widely used for a general overview of bacterial composition and is particularly advantageous in large-scale studies where cost is a significant concern.
