PGC Visayas Bioinformatics Laboratory Services
DNA Barcoding
DNA barcoding is a tool for rapid species identification based on DNA sequences. Efficiently recognize known species and speed up the discovery of new species.
SERVICES:
- Rapid species identification
- Identification of unknown material
- Species authentication
Metagenomics
Metagenomics is the study of genomes contained within an entire microbial community. Metagenomic sequencing focuses on microbial community diversity analysis, gene composition and function, as well as metabolic pathways associated with the specific environment.
SERVICES:
- Analysis of species composition and abundance
- Genome components analysis
- Generate non-redundant gene catalog
- Gene functional annotations
- Comparative analysis among samples
Transcriptomics
The transcriptome is the complete set of transcripts in a cell, tissue, or whole organism, for a specific developmental stage or physiological condition.
Transcriptomic Data Analysis involves characterization of all transcriptional activity (coding and non-coding), or a select subset of RNA transcripts within a given sample. The analysis of transcriptomes allows the identification of candidate genes and expressed markers associated with traits of interest.
SERVICES:
- Identification of the expressed genes
- Determination of the gene structures
- Quantification of absolute and relative gene expression levels
- Differential expression analysis
- Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis
- Target gene prediction and network/pathway analysis
Whole Genome Analysis
In Whole Genome Analysis, the de novo sequence can be used on characterized genomes if there is no available reference sequence or known genomes if significant variations are expected.
The general strategy of this analysis is to align and merge short fragments derived from a much longer DNA sequence in order to reconstruct the original sequence.
It usually takes multiple libraries and multiple rounds of finishing to get a complete genome sequence.
SERVICES:
- Generation of high-quality reference genome assemblies
- Structural and functional annotation of genes
- Identification and phylogenetic analysis of gene families
- Prediction of biosynthetic pathways
- Gene annotation and prediction
