An innovative and proprietary approach to biodiscovery

Metagenomics is the study of mixtures of genomes from populations and communities by directly sequencing DNA from environments. We utilize our proprietary bioinformatics tools to decipher a habitat’s community structure, metabolic potential, and core functions. Our metagenomic studies span the simplest of systems such as variants of a single strain in a controlled bioreactor to the most complex such as the interaction of soil and plant microbiomes in agricultural fields across the US. In general, we apply biodiversity in four ways:

Understanding host systems at a deep level better informs the starting point for the development of sustainable solutions.
