DNA Sequencing
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies enable researchers to investigate the genetic basis of biological function, variation, and disease with increasing depth and throughput. Various DNA sequencing approaches are available to facilitate numerous applications, including variant discovery, genome assembly, resequencing, phylogenetics, genotyping, and taxon identification.
DNA sequencing services from Lexogen can start with DNA extraction or library preparation, with optional target enrichment. We use top-quality library generation methods with customized sequencing and data analysis approaches according to individual project requirements and target applications. DNA extraction can be performed upon request, e.g., from cell pellets, fresh or flash-frozen tissues, and FFPE curls*.
We also offer various RNA sequencing options if you are also interested in studying the transcriptome. Learn more here.
