Bacterial/Yeast WGS
Whole-Genome Sequencing of bacterial and small yeast genomes.
Whole-genome sequencing of small bacterial and yeast genomes, using state-of-the-art Illumina® NGS platform, with bioinformatics analysis included.
Service Description
- Construction of an NGS library from gDNA sample, or from gDNA extracted from culture sample, with all required QC steps
- Sequencing of the library with Illumina short reads, generating comprehensive coverage with high depth and accuracy
- Demultiplexing, trimming, and quality-filtering of raw sequencing reads
- Sequence alignment of reads to provided reference sequence
Bioinformatics Analysis
Standard types of bioinformatics analysis are included with NGS services.
Map to Reference
Reads are aligned to the provided reference sequence to detect genetic variations (SNVs, InDels, CNVs) and generate a consensus sequence.
Custom Analysis
Complex bioinformatics analysis for various research purposes can be arranged as a custom project.
Acceptable Target Types
- Bacterial Genomes
- Small Yeast Genomes (up to 15 Mb in length)
Purified DNA Requirements
Please provide at least 10 µL, with OD260/280 >1.6 and <2.2, and all samples normalized to 3 ng/µL.
ACGT recommends DNA quantification using fluorometry. Quantification using Nanodrop is discouraged. Data quality of samples failing specified quantity and quality requirements cannot be guaranteed.
Bacterial Colony
Please provide sample colonies on agar plates, with 1 plate/sample.
Bacterial Culture
Please provide sample culture in tubes or plates, with at least 0.2 mL per sample.
For colony and culture samples, additional $50 per sample applies for gDNA extraction.
