EPISEQ® ID

RESEARCH USE ONLY

For Bacterial and Fungal Identification

EPISEQ® ID is an easy-to-use web-based application for the identification of bacteria and fungi through their respective 16S and ITS broad-range PCR sequences. 

The application is powered by Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencers data.

   

Ease of Use:

  • An intuitive and easy solution to process tNGS FASTQ file directly from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (**) sequencer
  • Offers search functionalities through stored historical samples
  • Produces a validation page for the detected organisms
  • Usable by microbiologists without bioinformatic knowledge
  • Provides a comprehensive PDF report

   

Microbiology Expertise to Deliver Reliable and Trustworthy Results

  • A curated database leveraging Oxford Nanopore Technologies long reads sequencing, optimized for full length bacterial 16S and fungal ITS+D1D2 regions.
  • EPISEQ® ID provides the list of all bacteria and fungi detected in the sequencing data thanks to its comprehensive database:
    The knowledge base is built on curated public and privately owned organism databases, combined with bioMérieux microbiological expertise helping to identify more than 3000 bacteria and 1200 fungi, comprehensive coverage for the clinical species of concern.
    *(according to WHO, FDA argos and publications)
  • Accuracy of the result with a Confidence Score:
    Users can rely on the list of organisms detected with this indicator rating the relevance of the species identification based on the amount and quality of sequences enriched with a degree of similarity against the reference database.

   

Fast and Intuitive Workflow

   

01 – Upload

From your personal account you can directly upload yourOxford Nanopore Technologies  FASTQ file.

EPISEQ® ID is optimized for the full 16S region of bacteria and ITS to D1D2 region for fungi.

EPISEQ® ID is also compatible with amplicon on partial 16S and partial ITS and D1D2 genes.

   

02 – Analyze

In a single click, EPISEQ® ID assigns bacterial and fungal identification.

EPISEQ® ID delivers a comprehensive list of detected bacteria and fungi at the most reliable taxonomical level or to the closest species level in case of upper identification level.

Multiple Quality Controls allow the user to rely on the delivered results.

   

03 – Validate and Report

Once the analysis is completed, a validation page allows to either approve or reject all detected organisms.

A pdf report is available once the validation is completed.
