Microbial composition profiling techniques powered by Next-Generation sequencing (NGS) are becoming routine studies. However, it is well known that results are prone to bias and errors in every step of the workflow, including sample collection, DNA /RNA extraction, library preparation, sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. Therefore, standardization of these NGS workflows is necessary to minimize bias and improve data quality and reproducibility in microbiomics studies. The figure on the right shows challenges associated with each step. At Zymo Research, we have constructed a comprehensive product line, coined ZymoBIOMICS®, designed for unbiased, accurate microbiomics and metagenomics analyses and validated using the ZymoBIOMICS® Microbial Community/DNA Standards
