Frequently Asked Questions

What microbiome analysis services does BaseClear offer?

BaseClear offers microbiome analysis services including taxonomic profiling, functional metagenomics, transcriptomics (RNA-seq and metatranscriptomics), microbial biomarker discovery, and microbiome-friendly testing. Depending on the research question, we can apply amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenomics, or transcriptomics workflows combined with advanced bioinformatics analysis to generate actionable biological insights. 

Amplicon sequencing targets specific genetic markers such as the 16S rRNA gene or ITS regions, while shotgun metagenomics sequences all DNA present in a sample. Amplicon sequencing is a cost-effective method for profiling microbial composition, whereas shotgun metagenomics provides higher taxonomic resolution and enables functional analysis of bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms in a single dataset. 

BaseClear uses validated bioinformatics workflows and machine learning approaches to identify microbial biomarkers associated with health, disease, treatment response, or product performance. By combining statistical analysis with microbiome sequencing data and metadata, we help researchers uncover microbial signatures that can support patient stratification, product claims, and scientific discovery. 

BaseClear performs the complete microbiome workflow in-house, from sample processing and sequencing to bioinformatics and reporting. This integrated approach, combined with laboratory automation, standardized quality controls, secure data management, and experienced scientists and bioinformaticians, ensures consistent and reliable results across projects. 

BaseClear can analyze a wide range of microbiome sample types, including human, animalenvironmental, food, feed, and industrial samples. Our workflows are optimized for different sample matrices and research objectivesenabling clients to investigate microbial diversityfunctional potential, gene expressionand microbiome changes across diverse applications.
