ZymoBIOMICs microbiomics standards are included in every project for unbiased microbiome analysis (left). Zymo Research’s Microbiome Analysis Services use unparalleled DNA extraction protocols: the ZymoBIOMICS DNA Kits. These kits are commonly reported in literature and are certified to have unbiased microbial lysis, resulting in the most accurate microbiome profiling. Other common DNA extraction protocols and kits reported in literature have a dramatic bias toward certain microbes.
