Genetic Services

The online Services of the Genetics working group are focused on 16S Metagenomics, which involve specific 16S ribosomal marker gene amplification by PCR. The 16S analysis is the most common approach for biodiversity studies. The Service focuses on taxonomic analysis from data derived from 454 Roche as well as Illumina sequencing technologies and provides the relevant software to allow analysis for both sequencing technologies. Efficient noise removal for 454 data is accomplished using the AmpliconNoise (http://qiime.org/scripts/ampliconnoise.html) pipeline and the taxonomic assignment for both de-noised 454 and Illumina data is achieved via QIIME (http://qiime.org/index.html).
