Bigelow Laboratory’s<\/strong> Single Cell Genomics Center<\/a><\/strong> has long been at the forefront of advancing single-cell sequencing technology to better understand the vast and diverse world of ocean microbes. Those efforts just took another major leap forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with Atrandi Biosciences<\/strong>, a Lithuania-based biotechnology company, researchers have published a new approach for single-cell genetic sequencing that will enable scientists to read the genomes of individual cells and viral particles in the environment more quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental microcompartment genomics will help increase the throughput and quality of single-particle sequencing, allowing scientists to look at the microbial community more holistically, especially when it comes to marine viruses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already, in the new study, the researchers showcase how the method is helping them identify and describe viruses in the Gulf of Maine, including those with unusual DNA chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
