GATC Biotech offers human genome sequencing services using enrichment technologies from Agilent along with next-generation sequencing systems such as Roche GS FLX and Illumina Genome Analyser IIx.
Customers can combine any number of samples with any size of targeted region to be subsequently sequenced on any available sequencing technology.
The deep sequencing of specific regions on a large number of samples is now affordable and within reach, the company said.
GATC uses, for example, the Sureselect targeted enrichment system and the On-Array DNA capture system from Agilent.
Sample tagging/barcoding will decrease the sequencing costs.
For the transcriptome analysis, the Agilent Sureselect Human All Exon Kit can be used.
Complete human genome re-sequencing is also available.
