Upgradeable depth, one experience
From 16S foundations to WGS and metatranscriptomics — more resolution, without fragmenting your journey.
Sequencing depth sets what your report can responsibly say. This page explains the three methods so you can choose the right resolution for your goals — without over-reading any result.
Describes bacterial composition, diversity, and community-type context. It does not infer gene activity or expression.
Adds higher-resolution taxonomy and genomic functional-potential context — potential, not active expression.
Reads which microbial genes are switched on.
Metatranscriptomics looks at microbial RNA to describe which genes appear to be active, adding expression context on top of what WGS shows about genetic potential. It is the most advanced depth and is offered where the sample quality and workflow support it. It describes expression context, not metabolite levels or medical conclusions.
