Metatranscriptome sequencing enables transcriptome-wide analysis of actively expressed genes within complex microbial communities. Unlike DNA-based metagenomics, which profiles genetic potential, metatranscriptomics helps reveal which microbial genes and pathways are active under specific environmental, host-associated or experimental conditions.
Novogene Europe supports metatranscriptome sequencing projects using high-throughput RNA sequencing and bioinformatics workflows for metatranscriptome assembly, species annotation, functional annotation, taxonomic analysis, gene expression quantification and differential expression analysis. This approach can help researchers investigate microbial community function, pathway activity and adaptive responses across complex ecosystems.
