Amplicon Sequencing by Sanger Sequencing

Accurate heterozygous indel mutation detection
on an Applied Biosystems Genetic Analyzer.

Identifying heterozygous base positions or small insertions or deletions in genomic DNA is often employed to locate mutations or polymorphisms in diploid organisms, detect genetic rearrangements, and uncover rare variants. The combination of the new BigDye® Direct Cycle Sequencing Kit and the Applied Biosystems® 3500 Series Genetic Analyzers for comprehensive, reliable sequencing data on targeted DNA regions and in heterogeneous mixtures, is critical for countless life science and research applications.

DNA Purification kit

DNA extraction is a critical first step in the experimental workflow of DNA Sequencing and Fragment analysis. The overall quality, accuracy and length of the DNA sequence read can be significantly affected by characteristics of the sample itself, and the method chosen for nucleic acid extraction. Ideal methods will vary depending on the source or tissue type, how it was obtained from its source, and how the sample was handled or stored prior to extraction.
