Microbial Identification Services in India

16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, ITS & Shotgun Metagenomics. Fast, affordable, and publication-ready microbial identification for researchers, industries & institutions across India.

Why Microbial Identification Matters in 2026

Microbes drive 90% of Earth's biochemical processes. Accurate identification is essential for clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food safety, probiotics validation, agriculture, and bioremediation. Traditional culturing misses >99% of microbes. Modern DNA-based methods (16S/18S/ITS amplicon & shotgun metagenomics) reveal the full unculturable microbial world.

At Yaazh Xenomics, we deliver end-to-end microbial identification services using gold-standard Sanger sequencing (ABI 3500/3730xl) & high-throughput NGS (Illumina / Oxford Nanopore) with advanced bioinformatics.

Why Researchers & Industries Choose Us

  • Affordable Excellence: Lowest NGS + Sanger sequencing prices in India.
  • Free Advanced Bioinformatics: OTU/ASV tables, phylogenetic trees, diversity analysis & custom reports.
  • ISO-Certified Quality: Strict contamination controls, clean-room protocols, negative/positive controls.
  • Pan-India Service: Free sample pickup all over India (HQ Coimbatore + Branches).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 16S rRNA and shotgun metagenomics?
16S rRNA sequencing targets a specific marker gene to identify which bacteria are present (Who is there?). Shotgun metagenomics sequences all genomic DNA in a sample, identifying microbes at a strain level and revealing functional genes (What can they do?).
Do you provide raw data and phylogenetic trees?
Yes! We provide raw FASTQ/ABI files, comprehensive analysis reports, OTU tables, and high-quality phylogenetic trees (in PDF and Newick formats) ready for publication.
Do you also submit the sequence in public databases?
Yes, we assist with preparing the submission-ready files and uploading your sequences to databases like NCBI GenBank.
