Multiplexed samples reduces cost

Cost Savings with Multiplex Samples

Multiplex Sequencing Multiplexing is a method of combining two or more samples (pooling samples) in a single sequencing run.  Multiplexing can increase the throughput of sequencing runs and save money at the same time. Conceptually, multiplexing…

The Cost of HLA Typing

At The Sequencing Center, one of the main services that we provide to pharmaceutical, academic, and clinical researchers is HLA Typing. HLA Typing (human leukocyte antigen) is most commonly leveraged for matching patients and donors for bone…

Bacteriophage DNA Extraction Protocol

We routinely perform bacteriophage whole genome sequencing.  However, we do not currently offer phage DNA extraction services.  Instead, researchers perform phage DNA extraction at their own facilities and then ship purified gDNA to our sequencing…
