DNA Extraction
We provide DNA extraction services for a wide variety of sample types including blood, tissue, and cells. This is a complimentary service included with all sequencing projects.
The Vision
With +15 years in the industry, The Sequencing Center’s CEO, Richard Casey Ph.D, has long believed that the future of biological and medical discoveries will be driven by genomics. After years of watching fellow colleagues struggle to get critical genomic data for their research, he decided it was time to solve this problem in the commercial business realm. He envisioned a world where genome sequencing would be an effortless and efficient process at prices that wouldn’t decimate grant funding or take months to receive data.
“Let researchers focus on discovery and innovation. Leave the lab work to us.”
– Richard Casey PhD, CEO of The Sequencing Center
The Strategy
While most companies have a focus on centerpiece research, our facility focuses on efficiency in the edges, enabling our customers to rely on a single facility for their end-to-end research. We saw conventional lab methodologies failing to make sequencing more accessible to researchers, so we put together team to reinvent the sequencing lab model with a hyper efficient, top-quality sequencing operation supported by automation.
All-Inclusive Lab Services
Library Prep
We use industry-standard preparation kits from Illumina, Nanopore, GenDX, Pillar Biosciences to create a high quality sequencing library. Samples undergo multiple QC checks to ensure they meet the kit expectations throughout preparation.
Sequencing
The Sequencing Center can sequence for whole genome, targeted genome, HLA-typing and many other gene panels using Illumina MiniSeq and Nanopore MiniON sequencers.
Bioinformatics
All projects are delivered with both the raw fastQ data files as well as corresponding variant alignment, HLA tying, or other gene panel-specific reports.
About
The Sequencing Center is one of the leading HLA service providers in the USA. Offering affordable, high-coverage HLA typing results with 4-field resolution, we pride ourselves on providing clients with exceptional services, including DNA extraction, library prep, sequencing and bioinformatics. We work with leading research institutes world-wide across a variety of fields including immunology, oncology, transplantation, inherited diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and drug discovery and development.
