Integrative Metabolomics-16S rDNA Sequencing Analysis Service

Metabolomics is the large-scale study of small molecules, commonly known as metabolites within organisms, cells, biofluids, tissues. The 16S rDNA gene encodes 16S rRNA and is ubiquitously present in bacterial genomes. This gene reflects differences between genera and can be easily sequenced. It is widely used for detecting and identifying pathogenic bacteria and for the phylogenetic classification of microbial communities at the genus or species level. Integrating 16S rDNA sequencing data with metabolomics data can reveal correlations between specific bacterial groups and specific metabolites, facilitating the identification of key strains responsible for changes in metabolic states or functional metabolites. Moreover, integrated analysis of metabolomics and 16S rDNA sequencing can elucidate the relationships among metabolites, microbes, and diseases, aiding in the discovery of disease biomarkers for clinical diagnosis. For instance, studying the relationship between gut microbiota and host metabolic phenotypes, and how microbial communities affect metabolic functions, exemplifies this integrated analysis.
