DNA SEQUENCING

High-throughput next generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized traditional genomic methods. NGS allows researchers to perform complex and large-scale genomic research accessibly and at an affordable cost, including those exploring the human genome. It has also continually improved capacity, sensitivity, and accuracy, while lowering cost and turnaround time. We help accelerate genomic and translational research by offering high quality DNA sequencing services to institutions and biopharma. Our expertise ensures that our clients all over the world receive informative and accurate datasets with a competitive turnaround time.

WHAT WE OFFER

Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)

WGS determines an organism’s complete DNA sequence in a single test.  Human WGS is not only a research tool, but is also being introduced into clinics to advance personalized medicine. It captures both large scale genomic alterations and small variants at the single nucleotide level. WGS sheds light on pathogenic and susceptibility gene detection in cancer and other diseases, while facilitating genome-wide association studies and evolutionary analysis.   

Human Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)

WES targets the exome – the protein–coding region of the genome. The human exome makes up ~2% of the whole genome, while containing approximately 85% of disease variants, making the test more efficient at detecting rare and low frequency variants compared to targeted hotspot gene panels. WES is also more cost-effective when WGS is not practical or necessary. We offer different options for exome enrichment, from coding exons only to expanded panels with untranslated regions (UTRs).
