Bioinformatics

At NCIMB, we have the microbiological knowledge, together with the bioinformatics capability and expertise required to get the most from your NGS data, no matter what your research or commercial aim.

With the latest tools and algorithms for genome assembly, variant calling, genome annotation, metagenomics and genome mining, we ensure our customers get maximum value from their genomic data.

We deliver clearly presented results within detailed reports that complement high-quality data.

Our capabilities include functional annotation, comparative genomics, phylogenetics, prediction of secondary metabolites and identification of antimicrobial and virulence markers.

Whether you need to monitor strain drift of your working stocks, separate closely related serovars or identify genomic structural variation, we can help you understand your strain's genome.

Next-generation sequencing enables the ultimate in strain characterisation, but actioning and understanding the data produced can feel daunting. If you have a requirement for additional analysis or need a bioinformatics solution tailored to your data, please contact us to talk about your needs.
