Whole genome sequencing of microbes is a powerful tool for genomic studies comparison, mapping studies, microbial identification, and building reference genomes. High-resolution sequencing data is vital for: Microbial systematics, building reference genomes, and mapping novel genomesUnderstanding the temporal and spatial dynamics of epidemics, pathogenesis, co-evolution of host and pathogensHorizontal gene transfer and antibiotic resistance transmission in a populationMutational studies using directed evolution of recombinantsUnderstanding physiology and metabolic pathways of organismsCurrently available methods of DNA extraction from bacteria are long and laborious and are susceptible to cross-contamination. The PDQeX Bacteria kit enables rapid, hands-free extraction of DNA from bacterial samples. Protocols take a fraction of the time of existing methods without the risk of cross-contamination. The prepared DNA can be used directly in whole genome sequencing workflows without any further purification.Using MicroGEM’s PDQeX Nucleic Acid Extractor, purified, double-stranded DNA is generated, making it the perfect solution when working with inhibitory samples (for example soil and stool) or performing NGS (Next Gen. Sequencing).Watch a demo here
