Addressing Public Health Challenges at MGI

It is crucial to quickly detect pathogens to help medical staff provide timely and accurate treatment during the outbreak of a new strain.

In response to the rising global Mpox cases, MGI has recently launched a sequencing product portfolio for pathogenic microorganisms. This portfolio covers the entire process from sample to report, enabling fast and efficient identification and tracing of emerging and unknown pathogens.

Furthermore, it's important not to overlook the role of the body's immune system in combating pathogens, which is greatly influenced by the microbiome in the human gut.

MGI has also announced accepting pre-orders for the Human Microbiome Metagenomics Sequencing Package this month. This package includes the full process of sequencing the human microbiome metagenome, from sample collection and extraction to library preparation, sequencing, and analysis.
