Turn strain genomes into actionable product insight
Whole genome sequencing for single strains and monoculture products-plus a functional capacity report that translates 4,000+ genes into clear, agriculture-relevant strengths and gaps you can communicate and act on.
UNIVERSITYHospital of Aarhus
University of AarhusSEGESInnovationUNIVERSITYHospital of AarhusUniversity of AarhusSEGESInnovationKnow what your strain can do
Move beyond "it's Bacillus/Pseudomonas…" and get a clear view of genetic potential: nutrient support, stress robustness, biocontrol traits, and plant-interaction capabilities.
Build stronger positioning and guidance
Use a functional summary designed for agriculture to support product narratives, use recommendations, and partner discussions-without digging through massive gene tables.
Everything delivered - ready for internal use
You get the complete WGS output package and an executive-friendly functional report-structured so teams can align on decisions quickly.
What Standard WGS Outputs Don't Tell You
Biostimulants and microbial products often succeed or fail based on properties that are hard to see from taxonomy alone. A strain may be closely related to a known performer - yet differ in key functions that matter in soil: nutrient cycling potential, root-interaction signals, stress tolerance, or biocontrol mechanisms.
Standard WGS outputs arrive as large tables and annotation files - useful, but difficult to interpret and even harder to turn into product decisions or customer communication. You don't want a 4,000-gene TSV - you want a clear statement of what the strain is likely capable of in the field.
That's why Biomcare combines strain WGS deliverables with a curated Functional Capacity Report - making the genome usable for real decisions and customer engagement, and shortening the path from pilot to market.
Who this is for
Manufacturers of strain-based products (agriculture, feed, and food processing)
You need a strain profile that supports development, positioning, and documentation-whether you're screening candidates, qualifying a production strain, or preparing technical materials for partners and customers. You require objective, third-party functional analysis to support claims, partnerships, or compliance discussions. We provide independent, structured outputs aligned with commercial expectations.
Strain suppliers, production teams & quality programmes
You need consistent, comparable outputs across strains and batches. We deliver standard WGS files plus a functional summary that makes qualification decisions faster-and easier to defend internally.
Seed coating manufacturers
Validate and differentiate microbial strains used in coatings with a functional profile built for agriculture-clear evidence tables, actionable categories, and a report your team can use immediately.
Portfolio & Investment Teams
You're evaluating strains for licensing, scaling, or acquisition. We provide functional clarity that strengthens due diligence and reduces uncertainty before capital is committed.
How it works
Scope & success criteria
We clarify what you need the genome to answer: strain identity, differentiation, functional potential, and ascertain whether the default service provides the information you seek, or if customization is needed.
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) & assembly
We receive your sample(s), perform DNA extraction, sequencing and assemble the genome for strain-level interpretation and downstream functional annotation.
Annotation & standard WGS outputs
We identify ORFs and annotate genes. Review taxonomy/phylogeny characteristics, and structured feature tables.
Functional Capacity Report (the part that makes it actionable also for none-microbiome sequencing experts)
We produce a curated, agriculture-focused report that converts the gene profile into a comprehensive yet targeted functional profile-highlighting key capacities and the gene evidence behind them.
What you get
Raw sequencing data + cleaned data
Assembly outputs and QC summaries
Full annotated gene/ORF list (including IDs and functional labels)
Taxonomy & phylogeny outputs (closest relatives / placement)
Biomcare Functional Capacity Report
A curated, agriculture-focused report that converts the gene profile into a targeted functional summary - designed for product and commercial teams, not just bioinformaticians. This report includes:
422+ curated genes grouped into 15 functional categories
Covering key soil services and plant-relevant traits - with gene-level evidence shown as present (✓) / absent (×)
Core vs supporting genes
An "Essential" column to distinguish must-have pathway components from supporting enhancers
Overall capacity estimates per sub-process
E.g. "X out of N genes detected" - giving a quick strength signal per functional category
Plain-language interpretation
Translating gene patterns into what they mean for nutrient availability, stress robustness, and disease suppression
15 functional categories covered
Nitrogen cycling, phosphorus solubilization, potassium solubilization, carbon cycling, micronutrient cycling, hormone-related pathways, antibiotic production, stress adaptation, and biocontrol traits
Full data ownership
You own your data - always. Raw sequencing files, processed data, feature tables, figures, and protocol details are all delivered to your secure project workspace, ready for reuse and documentation.
How our clients use this service
Screening multiple candidate strains to shortlist those with the strongest nutrient-support and stress-robustness profile
Differentiating two "similar" strains by functional potential (what's truly different beyond taxonomy)
Building a clear mode-of-use narrative: which functional areas are strong, which are limited, and what that implies for positioning
Internal QA / strain documentation: keeping a traceable WGS + functional profile archive for production strains
Partner enablement: giving distributors or advisors a credible functional summary they can use in technical conversations
Why Biomcare
Many providers can generate WGS files. The challenge is turning them into insight that product and commercial teams can use.
Biomcare's advantage is the Functional Capacity Report: a curated, agriculture-relevant framework that converts a genome into clear strengths, gaps, and implications-while still providing full transparency and all underlying files.
Actionable summary + full detail
Easy to read, but never a black box.
Agriculture-relevant functional categories
Not generic annotations.
Consistent outputs across strains
For portfolio decisions and documentation.
One partner end-to-end
From sequencing through interpretation and reporting.
Time advantage
Faster clarity on strain potential-shortening development loops and time to market.
External credibility
Evidence that holds up in partner due diligence, regulatory review, and customer scrutiny.
