Workflow Insights

Sample extraction/isolation held the largest share of over 20.0% in 2021. Microbiome research is one of the important focus areas for ongoing studies in medicine and diagnostics to understand the impact of the microbiome on human health Studies in this domain rely on robust extraction methods that can provide efficient DNA extraction and eliminate inhibitory constituents from the sample. The extraction method used can vary based on the composition of the sample as certain cell types may require harsher methods for efficient extraction.

For instance, MGI Tech Co. offers a DNA extraction kit for purifying and extracting high-quality microbial genomic DNA from frozen and fresh human stool samples. It can be used for numerous areas, such as intestinal flora research, metagenomics analysis, and probiotics research. The product is applicable for PCR, metagenomics sequencing, and RT-PCR.

Library preparation is considered to be the most next-generation sequencing platform that requires ligation of adapters to the fragment ends. The fragmented DNA is subjected to end repair to form blunt ends followed by attachment of the deoxyadenosine 5′-monophosphate (dAMP) tail to the 3' end, for applications in the Illumina platform. The tail is required for avoiding concatamer formation and it facilitates ligation of adaptors having complementary dT overhangs.

Application Insights

The DNA sequencing segment held the largest share of over 25.0% in 2021. Sequencing is essential to various fields, ranging from basic biology to human evolution. Moreover, technological advancements that assure cost-effective sequencing are expected to support market growth.

For instance, in June 2022, a start-up company, Ultima Genomics stated at a meeting in Florida that with the advancement of existing technology, the company can offer human genomes for USD 100, which is one-fifth of the existing rate. However, at present, the majority of the market is captured by Illumina.

The metagenomic segment is anticipated to record the fastest growth rate during the forecasted period. The metagenomics approach can offer the identification of a wide range of pathogens, including novel and rare pathogens, and facilitate the characterization of the microbiome.
