Amplicon Analysis
At CosmosID, we leverage our expertise in database curation to build a quality-controlled OTU database for both 16S and ITS amplicon sequencing using a range of open-source databases. Combined with the CosmosID Metagenomics Cloud, microbiome scientists can now can amplicon analysis in a matter of minutes, complete with charts and visualizations which are ready to export!
Strain-Level Metagenomics
The CosmosID pipeline was developed to address many challenges in modern-day bioinformatics by achieving better taxonomic resolution than traditional kmer and assembly-based approaches, yet maintaining computational efficiency and being able to achieve species, sub-species and strain-level resolution with less sequencing depth.

Amplicon Sequencing Services & Solutions
Amplicon Sequencing has been an integral methodology for microbiologists and microbiome researchers for decades; enabling the generation of whole community analysis of bacteria or fungi in any complex sample. Like many metagenomic approaches, amplicon sequencing offers unique advantages to microbiome researchers, many of which are highlighted on this page.
Shallow Shotgun Sequencing Services & Solutions
Through extensive R&D, the CosmosID team have established optimum read depth ranges for different samples types, using species and strain-level Bioinformatics. Whilst the optimum depth for any given sample will depend on study intent, microbial diversity & expected host DNA contamination, CosmosID offers shallow shotgun sequencing at 3M reads which yields consistent species and strain-level resolution of bacteria.
