Get comprehensive whole-genome analysis on a single platform
Whole-genome sequencing aims to provide complete analysis of an organism’s genome, but legacy short-read sequencing technologies are known to miss many important genomic regions and variants — even in the exome.
Oxford Nanopore sequencing, with its capacity to produce ultra-long reads (exceeding 4 Mb), can span complex structural variants (SVs) and repeat regions that legacy technologies cannot access, while the facility to directly sequence native DNA (and RNA), without amplification, further enables simultaneous detection of epigenetic modifications alongside the nucleotide sequence to deliver deeper genomic insights.
