Next-Generation Sequencing

Every type of NGS sequencing

  • Whole-genome sequencing: identification of SNPs, CNVs, PAVs, insertions, deletions, and translocations
  • Bisulfite treatment: assessment of DNA methylation levels
  • Whole-exome sequencing: sequencing of the coding region only, with the option to select exons of interest
  • Amplicon sequencing: clinical genotyping projects for the analysis of numerous samples at reduced costs
  • Long-read sequencing: for the reconstruction of complex genomes
  • Metagenomics: Profiling the Taxonomic Composition of Complex Biological Substrates
  • Hi-C Seq: a study of chromatin interactions in 3D space by linking chromosome structure directly to the genomic sequence.
  • Total RNA-seq: Quantification of Total RNA
  • mRNA-seq: quantification through whole-transcript sequencing
  • Small RNA-seq: quantification of small RNAs only. Option to select only physiologically relevant small RNAs
  • QuantSeq: Differential Expression Analysis. The gold standard for particularly challenging samples, such as FFPE or degraded samples
  • HD Single-Cell RNA-Seq
    Up to 15,000 genes. RNA quantification from a SINGLE nucleus or a SINGLE cytoplasm using a patented direct RNA amplification approach (minimum RNA input: 0.15 pg)
  • 3D Genomics
    Analysis of the three-dimensional organization of DNA in the nucleus to better understand gene regulation, cell development, disease mechanisms and progression, biomarker discovery, and genome assembly
  • Spatial transcriptomics
    Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of histological samples using the NGS Stereo-Seq approach.
