Targeted Gene Sequencing

quick efficient targeting!

Targeted Sequencing is an effective method for analyzing your selected gene(s) of interest. Whether you are interested in a few genes, or a few hundred genes, targeted resequencing panels offer high sensitivity and specificity, providing in-depth coverage, resulting in high-quality data. Assays performed by massive parallel next-generation sequencing (NGS) offer substantial advantages in the form of a simultaneous investigation of numerous genes. However, NGS turnaround time is also quite long, reaching up to 7 days. In fact, depending on the type of test and the instrument used, the assay time is contingent on library preparation, sequencing, and downstream analysis, but it may be further prolonged by the need to batch samples so as to reduce costs and workload.

a more targeted approach

The sequencing technology we use, third generation sequencing, offers the possibility of rapid sequencing and immediate availability of data for analyses. Nanopore sequencing is characterized by long reads and real-time data generation, features that make it an ideal tool for targeted genes sequencing. Our Long-targeted sequencing reads enable entire genes and genomic regions of interest to be fully characterized, allowing researchers to look beyond a handful of known variants. This can include novel variants in gene promoters, introns, and repetitive regions, plus the analysis of structural variants, base modifications, and phasing. With our advanced Artificial intelligence powered primer design tool, all you have to do is select a region in the DNA and let us do the rest!
