To thrive on microbial earth, we need to understand microbes, learn how to co-exist with them, and show respect for each other. Together we can build a greener and more sustainable future under the guard of microbes. At mBio.Works, we are dedicated to sharing our knowledge and experiences. This is our collection of technical docs, microbiology essays, case studies, concept explanations, literature digests, patent notes, social event highlights, lab life snapshots, conference and exhibition summaries, teaching materials, and more, all originally written by our microbes-inspired staff.
Microbial life dominates our planet Earth in terms of quantity and biodiversity. The very first step to understanding them is to know who they are. This can be addressed via high-throughput amplicon sequencing of a few conservative biomarker genes.
Microbial bioinformatics is a practical art. We are not professional programmers but understand the logic and biological meanings behind the command lines with ample experience using various programs, databases and software. You are guaranteed to receive industry-leading bioinformatics services.
Microcystis, a cyanobacteria genus, frequently causes harmful algal blooms in freshwater lakes. Researching its genome helps understand its environmental adaptability and informs strategies to mitigate its detrimental impacts.
Microbes are everywhere, but only a tiny fraction can be cultured in laboratories. The missing majority has escaped our understanding for centuries. With modern genomics technologies, they can now be investigated as a whole by directly sequencing total community DNA.
Genome sequencing often takes too long from DNA prep to final insights into the generated microbial genomics data. Emergent sequencing service addresses situations where you wish to receive the results within a week and are willing to afford additional costs.
We run four servers in-house, one for Nanopore basecalling and the other three for genomics and metagenomics pipelines. By providing rental service of our servers, we wish to enable more people to analyze their sequence data at will and hassle-free.
High-quality DNA extraction is the first vital step to a successful microbial genomics project. We apply various protocols tailored to specific sample types, f.x. colonies, soils, sediments, swabs, filters, and plant/animal tissues. Only proven commercially available kits are used.

High-quality DNA extraction is crucial for any microbiome sequencing project. At mBioWorks, we use reliable and cost-effective commercial microbiome DNA extraction kits to isolate pure DNA from all types of microbiome samples.
