The Microbiome Analysis Laboratory offers genomic based analyses including Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) using Illumina MiSeq and HiSeq platforms for microbiome studies in collaboration with the DNASU Genomics Core in the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. Both facilities are coordinated by an exceptional team of technicians and experts fully trained on Illumina sequencing and in the latest bioinformatics software for data processing and analysis on behalf of researchers.

The main goal of the Microbiome Analysis Laboratory is to serve the research community (ASU, ASU affiliates and external users) with resources and support necessary to characterize and study micro biomes (microbial communities) from various environments such as soils, freshwater, seawater, waste water and different body sites such as the human gut.
