Hmm e-dna?
environmental DNA?
deep metagenomics?
I think Ion Torrent does a fairly good job of this ..

16S & 18S Deep Sequencing Request(s)
Hello,
We've done 16S/18S/ITS/amplicon sequencing for years, with good results - sometimes excellent (library dependent) - for both internal and external clients.
We're starting to see more and more requests for guaranteed extremely high read depth per sample - like in the neighbourhood of 50,000 to 100,000 reads per side per PE sample. What kind of Illumina instrument (other than a MiSeq) does this (amplicon) sequencing well and why are people becoming obsessed with ultra-high read depth?
TIA

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Yesterday, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
