Helps diagnose infections and optimizes treatment strategies
CoGenesis® Metagenomics uses whole-genome shotgun sequencing to profile
microbial DNA, which helps clinicians diagnose infections and optimize
treatment strategies. Our comprehensive database covers 31,905 pathogen
species, with a total database size of over 100GB. Through the
antimicrobial resistance genes analysis, a more personalized treatment
plan can be provided for patients and ultimately lead to improved recovery
rate of the patient.
Metagenomics is the genomic analysis of a microbial community in an
environmental sample. It can be applied in clinical and environmental
microbiology, and many other fields.
What is the Clinical Application of Metagenomics?
Clinical metagenomics helps clinicians identify pathogens, including
bacteria, plasmid, virus, etc., from patients’ samples and guide
treatment strategies for patients with infections.
