Metagenomics sequencing is the way to do genomic analysis of microbial DNA fromenvironmental communities. It enables the population analysis of un-culturableor previously unknown microbes and allows researchers to comprehensively sample all genes in all organisms present in a given complex sample.
Now Jenker provides long-read metagenomicssequencing service on PacBio SMRT System in a culture-free method. Long-read metagenomics sequencing help scientists generating new insights into thefunction and pathway facets of the microbiome, trying to understand andelucidate the relations between microbes and its habitat/ host. Long-read metagenomics sequencing is a powerful way to obtain microbial genomes with the highest accuracy and reliability.
Key Features and Advantages

Analysis Workflow
Jenker is providing PacBio Single Molecular Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing for microbial whole genome sequencing toget a comprehensive view of the microbial genome.
SMRT Sequencing haslong reads (average >15,000 bp, some reads >100,000 bp) and the highest consensus accuracy. It is especially helpful for genome de novo assembly. As we know, repetitive stretches of DNA are abundant and are one of the main technical challenges that hinder accurate sequencing and genome assemblyefforts. In the case of bacteria, the rRNA gene operon is often the largest region of repetitive sequence and range in size between 5 and 7 kb. Microbial whole genome sequencing by illumina HiSeq platforms utilizes sequencing by synthesis technology which islimited by its read length (50 to 300 bp), and as it requires PCR amplification of multiple DNA templates before sequencing which potentially increase base-composition bias.
With SMRT Sequencing on the Sequel System, there is no need sacrifice quality for affordability when assembling bacterialgenomes. Go well beyond draft-quality to achieve reference-quality assemblies,closing even the most repeat-dense and GC-rich genomes and resolving plasmids.
The advantage of SMRT long reads, which can overcome the problem of abnormal GC and high duplication of micorbial genomes, oftenassembled into a single contig. Among all assemblies, the PacBio assembly recovered the highest number of core and virulence proteins, and housekeeping genes based on whole-genome multilocus sequence typing.
Key Features and Advantages
- Generate platinum-standard, closedreference genomes
- Affordably assemble gold-standardgenomes
- Clarify the role of transposons,phage insertions, and other structural variants in the evolution of virulence
- Recover plasmids to track drugresistance and transmission paths
- Data quality control
- Assembly
- Genome Annotation
- Functional Annotation
- Comparative Genomics
- Evolutionary Analysis
Changes inisoform variants and relative abundancies are an important clue in deciphering how genomic variants drive the phenotypic differences between health anddisease. Only long-read sequencing can provide unbiased, direct detection ofall the isoforms present in the samples. Iso-Seq analysis allowus to generate full-length cDNA sequences without assembly. It characterizetranscript isoforms within targeted genes or across an entire transcriptome.
Key Features and Advantages
- Discover new genes, transcripts and alternative splicing events
- Improve genome annotation to identify gene structure, regulatory elements,
and coding regions - Increase the accuracy of RNA-seq quantification with isoform-level resolution

Over the past 10 years, 16S/18S/ITS rRNA gene sequencing is the best tool to study bacterial and fungal taxonomy and molecular phylogeny.By taking advantage of PacBio SMRT long reads sequencing technology, Jenker can provide full-length 16S/18S/ITS rRNA sequencing service to helpyour research.
Take 16S rRNA as an example, the average read lengthof the PacBio SMRT sequences is 10~18 K, which can cover all variable areas of16S rRNA (the total length is around 1,500 bp). Meanwhile, circular consensussequencing (CCS) produces high intra-molecular consensus accuracy forfull-length 16S rDNA to achieve accurate to “species” classification andidentification.
18S rRNA (total length 1,500-2,000 bp) and ITS (about400-900 bp) are also able to be performed by full-length sequencing formicrobiome analysis.
Key Featuresand Advantages
- Strain-levelidentification by the full length of amplicons
