Market Overview Metagenomics is a research field where genomic analysis of microbial DNA from environmental communities is studied. Metagenomic sequencing techniques enable scientists to analyze genes in the given sample.
The method allows researchers to assess bacterial diversity and identify the presence of microbes in various environments. Steps involved in metagenomics sequencing include DNA extraction, library preparation, sequencing, assembly, annotation, and statistical analysis.
Market Dynamics Advanced technological platforms and improved genomic tools
One of the major factors driving the growth of the metagenomic sequencing market is the continuous development of faster sequencing techniques and advancements in different methods to cope with the huge data generated, which are expanding researchers’ capacity to analyze microbial communities from an unlimited variety of environments.
The growing adoption of advanced bioinformatics tools, high throughput screening (HTS) methods, recovery of novel drugs, and development of cost-effective technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) are driving the market growth. The development of Next Generation DNA Sequencing (NGS) technology has driven molecular biology research, leading to several discoveries and new insights. Next-generation DNA sequencing technology goes beyond long-established DNA sequencing with its applications that reach across the principles of molecular biology.
On May 28, 2019, a precision medicine biotechnology company, Macrogen, Inc. received South Korean accreditation of Good Clinical Lab Practices from the country’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) and designated as a clinical trial specimen analysis institution. It would benefit Macrogen with improvised clinical diagnostic metagenomics.
Hence, increasing technological advancements regarding DNA sequencing is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
