Experts in DNA metabarcoding data analysis

Bioinformatic analysis of DNA metabarcoding data

For DNA metabarcoding analyses to be successful it is essential to use adequate OTU picking algorithms and comprehensive databases. DNA metabarcoding pipelines also demand high-performance computing infrastructures. At AllGenetics, we ensure expert assessment and state-of-the-art DNA metabarcoding workflows along with suitable computational resources for your project.

In our current workflows, we:

  • Pre-process the raw high-throughput sequencing data.
  • Dereplicate sequences and remove chimeric reads.
  • Pick OTUs.
  • Quality filter OTUs.
  • Taxonomically classify OTUs.
  • Generate different visualisations of the results
