Achieve unparalleled value creation by unlocking the potential of microbes
Microbes are the earth’s richest, yet most underutilized resources. Their genetic functions are critical to develop new medicines and climate change solutions.
With our massive microbial genome database (MMGDB) built by bit-MAP® single-cell genomics we help clients address their big issues by uncovering novel microbial functions and improving them .
bitBiome’s Massive Microbial Genome Database (MMGDB)
Our proprietary Massive Microbial Genome Database (MMGDB) contains over 300 million microbe genes including unculturables and extremophiles. With this MMGDB, highly effective sequencing platform and a team of bioinformatics experts, we help you identify and optimize candidate genes.

bit-MAP®sequencing service
We’re providing novel Single Cell Genomics analysis service at the competitive cost, under USD45 per genome (SAG) at 384-well plate, and the deliverable report contains rich contents (e.g. 1. Raw Sequence Data 2. Quality of Draft Genome 3. Phylogenetic analysis 4. Taxonomy Identification of each draft genome). (Demo Data. Gut Microbiome)
bit-MAP® is applicable to a wide range of microbial samples, including human microbiome (e.g., gut, skin and oral) and environmental bacteria (e.g., soil and marine).
We are excited to support industrial researchers and deliver the value of this technology to society.
