Metagenomics analyses usually involve choosing between 16S and shotgun sequencing, causing  difficult trade - offs between depths of insight, time to result and cost per sample.

Traditional microbiome analysis through sequencing contain significant biases depending on the method. The decisions you have to make along the sequencing workflow may be introducing variables into the analysis that may critically impact your research result. While bioinformatics standardization methods exist to limit bias, numerous sources of bias remain in sequencing workflows such as the error - prone library preparation process or short-reads assembly.

All in all, this should have you asking yourself the ultimate questions about your results: “How have my choices of library prep kit and bioinformatics pipeline influenced my results? How confident am I that my analysis is objective and representative of my actual sample content? Could reviewer #2 reproduce my results?”

On the other hand, DynaMAP™ delivers unbiased, high - resolution microbiome profiles in just a couple of hours from sample to actionable result. DynaMAP™ is a time- and resource - efficient analysis of microbiome compositions and dynamics. It removes the need for you to make trade - offs.
