SCIENTIFIC STAFF

Smallomics is staffed by high-level scientists with postgraduate and post-doctoral studies in the scientific fields of biology, microbiology, food and beyond.

MODERN MOLECULAR SEQUENCING TECHNIQUES

At Smallomics we carry out, through modern methods, analyses that conventional methods cannot reach.

RESULTS ANALYSIS & REPORTING

At Smallomics we offer detailed reports after each analysis, through modern N.G.S. techniques, which suggest ways to intervene and/or solve the problems-findings.

Innovation in the analysis of microbial diversity using next-generation sequencing techniques

Smallomics LP is an innovative laboratory focused in microbial diversity studies for the whole microbiome using molecular techniques (Next Generation Sequencing; NGS). The traditional way of determining the composition of microbial communities has been through culturing methods. These are based on the isolation and cultivation of microorganisms.

However, it has been shown that culturing is unreliable for the complete microbial diversity characterization of many ecosystems, including those of water, soil, foods and beverages. The isolation of microorganisms may require unknown growth factors and/or specific conditions that cannot be reproduced in vitro.

Moreover, microbes that exhibit low abundances in their natural habitat, might be outcompeted by other species during isolation and avoid detection. All these limitations cause microbial diversity underestimation by traditional techniques, while some times they might also miss major groups present in the natural habitats.
