We profiled 12.4M paired-end reads from Stool_028 using a shotgun-mgx pipeline. Bacteroides vulgatus dominates the community (38%), with Shannon 3.84 and Simpson 0.91 indicating high evenness. Two AMR markers (blaTEM-1, tetM) were detected at low coverage.
Tell us what you want to learn. We pick the right tools and run them for you. No setup, no command line.
Find out which species are in each sample, whether from short-read or long-read sequencing. Strain-level detail included.
Spot antibiotic-resistance genes and mobile risk elements across your samples.
See which pathways are active, which metabolites are produced, and which gene clusters make interesting molecules.
See what's different between healthy and sick, before and after, or any two groups you define, with statistical backup built in.
Place your samples next to thousands of already-published gut samples, and see how they line up.
See which species hang together and which ones hold the community in place.
We are thrilled to discover together what we can find, so start by sizing your study.
