Eurofins MWG Operon, a leader in next generation sequencing services has expanded its exome sequencing services with the Ion Proton Next Generation Sequencer.

Certification for Ion AmpliSeq Exome sequencing was also awarded after joining Life Technologies Corporation’s Ion AmpliSeq Exome Certified Service Provider (CSP) program. Membership in Life Technologies’ CSP program is exclusive and comprises of a select group of genomic service providers worldwide who meet the standards set by Ion Torrent for delivering high-quality sequence data.

Using Life Technologies proprietary approach, consisting of the Ion AmpliSeq Exome Kit, the Ion Proton Sequencer and Ion Reporter Software, provides researchers with the fastest, most cost-effective exome sequencing solution available with flexible throughput on the market today. “Eurofins MWG Operon is pleased to gain exome certification allowing us to offer Life Technologies Ion Proton exome sequencing services to our global customers. This will further aid researchers in their quest to identify disease-causing genes”, said Bruno Poddevin, Vice President of Eurofins MWG Operon.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits.
