Description
Targeted next generation sequencing allows you to sequence specific areas of the genome for in-depth analyses more rapidly and cost-effectively than whole genome or whole exome sequencing. Targeted sequencing uses deep sequencing to detect known and novel variants within your region of interest.
MBG targeted panels have a select number of specific genes, or coding regions within genes that are known to harbor mutations that contribute to pathogenesis of disease, and include clinically actionable genes of interest. We have a range of panels available depending on your disease of interest. Contact us for more details.

Human metagenomics study’s different elements of the human microbiome. The technology identifies a community of microorganisms present in biological sample, without the necessity of obtaining pure cultures. In MBG we utilize the next generation sequencing to facilitate the identification of large number microorganisms in the specimen.
The 16S and 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing is common amplicon sequencing method used to identify and compare bacteria present in unknown sample. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing is well-established method for comparing sample phylogeny and taxonomy from complex microbiomes or environments that are difficult to study.
The next generation sequencing of the 16s rRNA allows culture free testing from complex microbial samples to detect and identify several pathogens in parallel. The method produces a higher resolution in less time to results for bacterial identification compared to other identification methods
