Microbial communities
Characterise the microbial diversity of your samples.
LDgenX supports projects investigating bacterial, fungal and other microbial communities, using high-throughput sequencing technologies to characterise their diversity, composition and functional potential.
Your scientific need
Who makes up the community?
The composition of a microbiome is a scientific question in its own right. The choice of approach depends on the organisms studied, the matrix and the level of characterisation sought.
The approaches to bring in
Bacteria, fungi, functions.
The choice of methods is guided by the scientific objective and the context of your project.
16S sequencing
Analysis of bacterial community diversity and composition.
ITS sequencing
Characterisation of fungal communities.
Microbial metabarcoding
Comprehensive assessment of microbial diversity using targeted genetic markers.
Metagenomics
In-depth taxonomic and functional analysis of microbial communities through untargeted sequencing.

Your project in practice
Shared scoping. A tailored proposal.
The team supports project preparation, molecular analyses and bioinformatics interpretation. The biological question stays at the centre of how the data are read.
To prepare the first conversation
- Your objective and the decision it should inform
- The context: site, environment, species or population studied
- The samples or data already available
- Your schedule and field constraints
What we define together
- The scope of the service
- The sampling strategy and the analyses
- How results are reported
- The schedule and the quote
