PCR Amplicon Sequencing Services

Full-Length Amplicon Sequencing

PCR Amplicon Sequencing enables cost-effective enrichment and full-length sequencing of target regions with long reads, rapid turnaround, and flexible scalability.

The Power Of Long-Read Sequencing

WBL’s technology leverages the power of Nanopore long reads. Now equipped with clinically-viable sequencing accuracy and yield, long-read technologies are positioned to advance research and clinical diagnostics. 

Long read PCR amplicon sequencing is particularly advantageous when investigating genomic regions that are challenging to sequence with short-read approaches. These include highly repetitive regions, structural variations, and other complexities.

FAQ

What is PCR amplicon sequencing and how is it used in targeted sequencing projects?

PCR amplicon sequencing is a method that focuses on specific genomic regions by amplifying them using PCR and then sequencing the resulting amplicons. Wasatch BioLabs utilizes long-read nanopore sequencing to generate full-length reads of these regions, making it ideal for analyzing structural variants, SNPs, and complex or repetitive regions in targeted sequencing projects.

What types of samples and targets are suitable for PCR amplicon sequencing?

DNA samples extracted from humans, animals, plants, bacteria, and viruses are suitable for PCR amplicon sequencing, provided they are non-infectious. PCR amplicon sequencing is particularly well-suited for targets that are structurally complex, rich in GC content, or located within repetitive genomic regions where short-read sequencing struggles.

Can Wasatch BioLabs customize targeted amplicon sequencing panels for specific research needs?

Yes, Wasatch BioLabs can design customized PCR amplicon sequencing workflows to meet unique research objectives. Whether targeting gene panels, rare mutations, or specific structural variants, our long-read sequencing approach ensures comprehensive and accurate coverage tailored to your study.
