To ease the bioinformatic process of alignment in de novo sequencing projects, overlapping sequences are built up into as few large contigs as possible. This is aided by using technologies that provide long read lengths as well as paired-end and mate pair reads. All of these, along with the provision of high-coverage read data, increase the amount of overlapping sequence and therefore increase confidence in sequence assembly.
Next Generation Sequencing(NGS) is not only used in a typical bulk sequencing, but also in variety of research areas such as, cancer genomics, RNA sequencing, and Epigenomic analysis. DNA LINK possesses diverse NGS platforms (Illumina HiSeq2000/2500, Ion PGM, and Ion Proton) and provides the right experimental design and optimal technology for sequence capture based on different NGS applications. Our PacBio RSII system was the first to launch its service in Asia, and its groundbreaking performance in de novo sequencing promises to cut down research time and cost. DNA LINK guarantees an optimal service from the selection of application-oriented platform to the comprehensive Bioinformatics service. Available applications and platforms at DNA LINK
