The Two Frontiers Project
Dataset Generation Services
Field-to-data services for researchers, institutions, and industry partners who need environmental genomics done right.
Building AI-ready metagenomic datasets
Global sampling campaigns
We design and execute field sampling campaigns for marine, terrestrial, and built environments. We specialize in low-biomass and extreme environments where standard protocols produce inadequate results.
Metagenomic sequencing
From targeted amplicon surveys to deep shotgun metagenomics, we handle library preparation, sequencing, and primary data processing in-house. All workflows are optimized for high-diversity environmental samples.
High-throughput culturomics
We formulate custom growth media and run hundreds of enrichment conditions in parallel, then isolate pure strains and stabilize mixed consortia — with genome sequencing and phenotypic characterization for every lead.
Isolate & consortia screening
Isolates and consortia are screened against application-relevant functional assays — carbon and methane conversion, bioremediation, stress tolerance, and bioproduction yield.
AI-backed bioinformatics
Custom pipelines for site selection, genomically targeted culturing, and novel gene annotation. Our tools — including XTree and MAGUS — are open-source and published.
