Learn more 16S rRNA species-level taxonomyUltra-high-resolution taxonomic assignment for 16S rRNA sequencing data, resolving microbial communities to the species level.
Explore Resphera Insight Automated statisticsAn automated statistical analysis platform empowering researchers to answer critical questions and uncover valuable insights from their data.
Visit firstlookdata.comTraditional 16S classifiers typically stop at the genus level or lose accuracy beyond it. Resphera Insight is designed to provide accurate species-level context.
From a Resphera-led validation study profiling C. difficile burden from short 16S rRNA reads (error rate from simulations of 10,000 reads per species).
Re-analysis of existing datasets detected C. difficile in roughly 83–85% of active-infection cohorts versus ~8.5% of healthy controls, and mapped negative associations with protective species such as Clostridium scindens and Blautia.
Identified Lactobacillus gasseri/johnsonii enriched in the saliva of head and neck cancer patients, and tracked Fusobacterium nucleatum and low-abundance C. difficile in colorectal tumor biofilms.
Detects bacterial contaminants such as Salmonella enterica in food matrices ranging from low-diversity products like ice cream to complex botanicals like cilantro and chili powder.
