Midwest Labs is excited to announce a new partnership with Biome Makers to offer BeCrop® DNA Analysis.
By sending in samples for the BeCrop DNA analysis, you will get a custom report with identification of bacterial and fungal soil communities. Biome Makers uses 16S rRNA and ITS marker genes sequenced by Illumina MiSeq Technology. Your soil is analyzed with the Biome Makers proprietary, taxonomically classified sequence database.
