Our Microbiomes Are A Part of Us
Our bodies contain more than just human cells – we also have many microbes living on and in us, especially in our guts. These microbes live together with us; they create important metabolites such as short chain fatty acids and essential vitamins, they help us digest our food, they are involved in immune responses, and they even can affect our brains. Likewise, they are modulated by many factors, including the food we eat, our environment, medications we take, our stress levels, and more.
Whole Genome Shotgun Sequencing with NirvanaBiome
At NirvanaBiome, we use whole genome shotgun (also called WGS) sequencing, provided through CosmosID, for consistent high-quality results and genome identification. This table highlights some of the differences between WGS and 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing.
