Description
NGS-based microbial composition profiling techniques are increasingly used in microbiome and metagenome studies. However, these analytical techniques can suffer from significant bias, from collection to analysis.
ZymoBIOMICS™ Microbial Community Standard is a microbial reference control designed to assess common biases and errors in DNA extraction/purification methods included in NGS-based microbiome and metagenome study workflows.
ZymoBIOMICS™ Microbial Community Standard replicates/mimics a mixed microbial community of well-defined composition (Gram+ / Gram− bacteria and yeasts) and is used as a quality control or reference to optimise extraction/purification and analysis protocols.
