Turn strain genomes into confident product decisions

Manufacturers of strain-based products and ingredients

You need a defensible strain profile for development, documentation, and partner communication-whether you're qualifying a production strain, preparing technical documentation, or validating differentiation.

QA, quality programmes & technical documentation teams

You need consistent, reusable outputs you can archive and reference-plus clear summaries of safety-relevant signals and functional capabilities that matter for your use case.

Skincare and non-feed animal care product teams

If you use strains in skincare or animal care products (e.g., topical products or hygiene/shampoo formulations), you need a clear genome-backed profile aligned to both risk screening and functional potential-delivered in a format you can actually use.

Scope & success criteria

We align on the key questions you need answered: identity/phylogeny, safety-relevant screening, functional capacity on specific gene groups, and how the outputs will be used internally and externally.

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) & assembly

We sequence and assemble the genome with quality control appropriate for strain-level interpretation.

Annotation tailored to your application

We annotate coding genes and relevant features using a broad set of trusted reference resources- selecting the combination that best fits your product context and decision needs.

Reporting & handover

You receive the full output package plus a clear report structured around your priorities, with the most decision-relevant findings highlighted and explained.

Raw sequencing data + cleaned data

Assembly outputs + QC summaries

Full annotated gene/ORF list (with functional labels and identifiers)

Taxonomy & phylogeny outputs (closest relatives / placement)

Targeted annotation and screening

To make WGS useful across both risk and function, we apply the most relevant reference lenses for your product context - not everything by default, but the right combination for relevant insight without unnecessary complexity. This includes, depending on your needs:

Safety / quality lenses

Resistance genotyping databases and tools. Virulence factor screening where appropriate to the organism and context. Plasmid/mobile element context to understand stability and mobile cargo. Metal/biocide tolerance signals where sanitation/manufacturing context matters.

Function / performance lenses

Pathway and system interpretation to map genes into biological capabilities (e.g., KEGG, COG). Protein family/domain annotation for deeper functional calling (e.g., Pfam, UniProt). Additional specialised resources as needed for your strain and use case.

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.

Food ingredient strain: confirm identity and differentiation; deliver a reusable strain dossier for documentation and partners

Feed additive strain: combine functional capacity insight with risk screening aligned to internal QA expectations

Manufacturing programme: build consistent WGS records across strains to support qualification and traceability

Skincare / topical strain: generate genome-backed documentation with both functional potential and safety-relevant screening in one package

Portfolio decisions: profile multiple candidate strains to support selection with consistent outputs and clear summaries
