What is pharmacogenomics? Pharmacogenomics (PGx) is the study of how variation in certain genes correlates with the response of an individual to a particular drug or therapy. It involves the analysis of the genetic sequence of an individual to predict how they will respond to a compound. When a gene variant correlates with a particular […]

Short read sequencing vs long read sequencing: Which one is right for you?
Background Since the first human genome was sequenced over two decades ago, DNA sequencing has progressed from researchers having to laboriously read each DNA letter individually. The development of high-throughput DNA sequencing has allowed for increased speed and accuracy in reading genetic information. However, with this improvement in sequencing technology, two distinct approaches have emerged: […]

7 key benefits to outsourcing Next Generation Sequencing Services (NGS Services)
Next-generation sequencing services (NGS services) have been transforming the field of genomics by allowing scientists to rapidly sequence genomes and transcriptomes at a much lower cost than previous technologies. NGS has become a powerful tool for understanding the genetic basis of diseases and biological processes and is utilized by small academic groups to large pharmaceutical […]
Why are Researchers Outsourcing Whole Exome Sequencing? – 3 Powerful Reasons
In this blog we look at 3 powerful reasons researchers outsource Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and how it might be the right choice for your research. Across the globe researchers have been deciphering the genetic code to identify the sequences of nucleotides in the human genome that code for proteins. In many cases, they are […]
Bulk RNA Sequencing vs. Single Cell RNA Sequencing – what’s the difference between these powerful techniques?
Bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) are both methods used to study gene expression profiles in cells. The major difference between the methods lie in the scale and resolution at which they analyze gene expression. Moreover, researchers employ these techniques for different applications – this blog looks at the differences between […]
