Meet the experts.
Join Britton Strickland, Ph.D., and Gustav Lindved in the webinar, Advanced, End-To-End Shotgun Metagenomics Workflows, as they introduce the CosmosID-HUB and how it enables the understanding of the functional roles of microbes in various environments, including soil.
Automation-enabled sample homogenization
For genomic applications, multiple factors need to be considered and optimized to ensure that the nucleic acid going into genomic assays will maintain enough integrity to produce meaningful results. Within these factors, automation could add reliability and consistency in upfront sample homogenization that leads to more efficient nucleic acid extraction of usable DNA or RNA. Sample homogenization via automated rotor-stator or bead-mill technologies can significantly increase workflow efficiency and operation costs associated with human resources or discrepancies in results between replicate QC or cross-site method optimization.

Nucleic acid analysis for agrigenomics
Improve your nucleic acid analysis with the automated LabChip® solutions and enable high throughput analysis of genomic DNA, RNA, and NGS libraries in seconds.
Reporting is simplified through the automatic generation of data as an electropherogram, virtual gel, or tabular report.
16S rRNA sequencing
16S rRNA sequencing is a powerful and cost-effective next-generation sequencing (NGS) tool for agricultural metagenomics, enabling the analysis of microbial communities without the need for cultivation. The 16S rRNA gene serves as a widely used marker for bacterial genus and species identification due to its highly conserved regions interspersed with hypervariable regions, allowing for precise differentiation between taxa.
This method excels in speed and affordability, making it ideal for microbial profiling and population genetics studies. By leveraging amplicon sequencing, researchers can efficiently explore the phylogeny and taxonomy of complex microbiomes, providing critical insights into microbial diversity and interactions in agricultural ecosystems.
