Clinical Metagenomics – Fungal microbiome: 18S RNA gene analysis
Test Code: 177381
Turnaround time: 2 weeks
What is the Clinical Metagenomics test ?
CEN4GEN uses a molecular genomic-based platform to sequence the 16S or 18S rRNA genes and/or viral genomes from DNA isolated from human biological specimens, as part of a comprehensive metagenomic screen to determine microbial identity and population abundance pertaining to bacterial, fungal and/or viral species, and to indicate relevance to infectious diseases and health.
Can data be re-analyzed ?
Yes, upon request.
