GENOME ASSEMBLY
Refers to the process of putting nucleotide sequence into the correct order.
Assembly is required, because sequence read lengths are much shorter than most
genes. Ankh Bioinformatics is distinguished by its experience, we know that de novo
assembly projects are foundational to any type of genomic research.
SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT
We provide a method of arranging DNA, RNA, or protein sequences to find regions of similarity
that may be the result of functional, structural, or evolutionary links. This is a powerful tool for
many fields of studies such as phylogenetic reconstruction, illumination of functionally important
regions, and prediction of higher order structures of proteins and RNAs.
PRIMER DESIGN
Primers are designed to have a sequence which is the reverse complement of a
region of template or target DNA to which we wish the primer to anneal. When
designing we always have in mind to give you the best GC Content and the optimal
length, to give you the most stable and functional primer.
METHYLATION ANALYSIS
Because PCR eliminates base alterations, traditional sequencing technologies require
particular library preparation processes that may cause nucleic acid damage. At Ankh
Bioinformatics, PCR is not required, enabling DNA and RNA modifications to be
preserved and directly sequenced with no additional library prep steps. Long-range
epigenetic changes, structural variants, and single nucleotide polymorphisms can be
identified and phased in a single dataset.
