Tools and applications for microbial/metagenomics

Antimicrobial resistance

To support you in the fight against the worldwide threat of emerging antimicrobial resistant (AMR) pathogens, a comprehensive set of tools and databases designed to work together are readily available for download and immediate use. The tools specifically developed for AMR include those for analysis of both assembled isolate genomes or metagenomes, as well as tools for the assembly-free detection of AMR markers directly from your FASTQ data. Access to a variety of public and privately curated AMR databases enhances the ability to characterize your data.

Strain typing and outbreak analysis

Whether you’re focused on public health epidemiology, clinical microbiology research or basic microbial genomics research, QIAGEN CLC Microbial Genomics Module provides intuitive and comprehensive tools for strain typing bacterial, fungal and viral genomes. Users benefit from tools for traditional MLST-, cgMLST-, wgMLST– or SNP-based analysis and advanced assembly-free k-mer-based strain typing. Visualization like the interactive Minimum Spanning Tree provide an intuitive overview for outbreak analyses. Collectively, these tools provide researchers with total flexibility in one tool set for the analysis of isolates – regardless whether it’s a virus, bacteria or fungal genome.

Microbiome profiling and functional metagenomics

QIAGEN CLC Microbial Genomics Module offers unparalleled options for analysis of both amplicon/OTU and whole metagenome sequencing data. The software provides a fully integrated solution for everything from 16S/ITS microbiome profiling, shotgun metagenomics profiling, metagenomics assembly, automated gene finding and annotation with BLAST or DIAMOND. QIAGEN CLC Microbial Genomics Module also offers innovative tools for binning of contigs from de novo assemblies, important for identifying plasmids and other mobile elements.
