New GS FLX+ based 16S metagenomics sequencing generates Sanger-like read lengths - benefit from improved microbial profiling and better taxonomic assignment

Are you performing research in the field of metagenomics?

Are you planning to analyze microbial samples taken from the human body, from food, soil or any other complex micro-environment?

Then our Roche/454 GS FLX+ based Metagenomics Services are the perfect solution for you!

IMGM Laboratories Graphics - Roche 454 GS FLX+ PlatformIMGM is now bringing the extra-long read length capability of the FLX+ system to the field of metagenomics.

We are proud to be the first service provider to offer professional amplicon-based FLX+ Metagenomics Services to our customers.

For a detailed comparative analysis of the FLX+ performance in 16S sequencing, please click [ here ].

In short - compared to the read length distribution generated with a conventional GS FLX or GS Junior system, the FLX+ data show a marked shift to longer read lengths with a mode read length of greater than 700 bases [ see detail ].  

Due to the extra long read lengths generated, a highly increased percentage of the reads now cover up to 6 16S variable regions, thereby greatly enhancing the usefulness of 16S NGS data sets.


Key benefits of  IMGM's microbial sequencing service:

  • accurate identification of organisms or genes in complex environmental samples
  • improved sensitivity and specificity of taxonomic assignments - down to the species level
  • accurate profiling of the diversity of complex mixtures within a sample

Using amplicon-based approaches, IMGM offers 16S, 18S or ITS rRNA sequencing as well as the analysis of your functional gene of interest (e.g. RUBiSCo).
