Animal Microbiome Functional Gene Diversity Sequencing

With the rapid development of omics technology, scientists are increasingly recognizing that the functional diversity of microbial communities is an important factor connecting biological diversity, hosts, and even ecosystem functions. It plays a unique and important role in determining trophic relationships, interactions among microorganisms, and their responses to changes in the host environment. In animal microbiome research, the use of diversified sequencing analysis technology for functional genes can provide a more accurate characterization of specific functional microbial groups and their multifaceted effects on the host microenvironment. This has both practical and theoretical significance. BioVenic utilizes cutting-edge animal microbiome functional gene sequencing technology to offer researchers a thorough analysis of microbial diversity, particularly in relation to specialized functions within complex environmental conditions. We are committed to making it easy for customers to overcome technical obstacles, apply the emerging microbiome approach to animal microbiome research, and enhance the development potential of their projects.

Animal Microbiome Functional Gene Diversity Sequencing Service

BioVenic specializes in providing customized solutions for studying the functional gene diversity of animal microbiomes. Our services primarily cater to scientific research focused on microorganisms with unique functions found in animal samples. We conduct in-depth analysis of the functional differences, classification, and abundance of microorganisms that possess similar genes, which enable them to perform the same function. At the same time, our bioinformatics downstream analysis combines the microenvironmental factors of each animal sampling point to analyze the relationship between environmental factors and the functional bacterial community structure. This approach is a powerful high-throughput method for studying the composition of microorganisms in complex environments.

Applications of Functional Gene Sequencing in Animal Gastrointestinal Microbiome

Most farm animals are ruminants, and within their rumen and intestines, there exist a variety of bacteria with specialized functions. These include methanogens, cellulose-degrading bacteria, and other functional microorganisms. Much research is dedicated to finding the most efficient and convenient methods to reduce animal losses and enhance nitrogen use efficiency. This can be accomplished by comprehending the function and metabolic potential of microbial communities. Our understanding in this field has significantly advanced in recent years, as the utilization of omics technologies to analyze microbial composition and functional patterns in the rumen has gradually superseded traditional microbial culture methods. By continuously mining information on functional microorganisms and integrating it with data on animal nutrition, physiology, and excretion emissions, the research community has developed a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between microbial activity in the animal gastrointestinal tract, nitrogen use efficiency, and methane emissions. Ultimately, providing a reliable scientific basis for improving returns and value for farm animals.

• Improving the genetics and overall health of animals.
• Reducing the energy loss of animals and improve feed utilization and animal profitability.
• Reducing the environmental impact of methane emissions and improve nitrogen use efficiency.
• Identifying key metabolic pathways affected by the microbiome and develop novel feeding regimens.
• Unraveling the connection between diet and animal products.

Why Choose Us?

BioVenic's animal microbiome functional gene diversity sequencing service provides researchers with a more focused and efficient method for high-throughput analysis. We classify microorganisms in animal samples into functional groups that exhibit similar responses to environment in vivo or have similar effects on major metabolic system processes. Different from random or universal sequencing, we design primers based on functional genes for amplification in order to study specific microbial functional groups. This allows relevant scientific research projects to conduct research in more specific directions, such as studying the differences, classification, and relative abundance of specific functional groups of microorganisms, as well as investigating interactions with the host or the interconnections between microorganisms. contact us and apply this novel microbiome technology to your project.
