Our technology platform provides unique access to metagenomic diversity
It is estimated that less than 1% of the world’s microbial diversity has been isolated and studied. We have only seen the tip of the iceberg in terms of what nature has created.
Metagenomics, which involves the sequencing of environmental and human microbiome samples, offers a powerful approach to access this untapped diversity.
However, not all metagenomic data is created equal. Most metagenomic datasets are too small to capture the diversity in these extremely complex samples and/or are too fragmented to provide much insight into the genes and pathways encoded within these environments.
The Topaz metagenomic platform generates large, well-assembled datasets that provide a more complete view of the biology in these systems and serve as a rich source of information for downstream computational approaches.
Interested in leveraging the Topaz metagenomic platform to solve your discovery challenges?
Data science and synthetic biology enable us to harness this novel diversity and unlock commercial value
Our metagenomic sequence database is just the first pillar of our platform. To identify high-value biological activities within our proprietary diversity, we deploy computational strategies and synthetic biology approaches to uncover and optimize novel, high-value biological molecules. In our experience, natural diversity is the most effective way to search through vast sequence space for improved activities. If you are interested in learning more about how our metagenomic platform can help you meet your discovery needs, please contact us.
