NGS

Unlike Sanger Sequencing, NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) by using high-throughput sequencing technology which can rapidly undergo massive parallel sequencing by fragmenting genes and reading them at once, then using advanced analysis systems to quickly decode genetic information.

Overview

Bioneer's NGS service provides wide range of NGS applications for various research purposes. We can provide gene decoding and analysis for whole genome, exome, transcriptome, and epigenome. Analysis based on De novo sequencing and reference genes can be done not only for humans, but also for various species such as marine animals/plants and bacteria with high GC contents.

Features and Benefits

  • Various service for NGS applications and customized research project consultations

  • Highly reliable data

  • Analysis for basic/customized bioinformatics

  • Associated service: Sanger Sequencing, RNA profiling

List of Services

Whole Genome Sequencing(WGS) is a method that can gain genetic information of the whole genomes of a model organism and human by reading them all at once.
By utilizing the data gained through WGS, analysis of various variants such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions/deletions (InDels), and copy number variants (CNVs), and structural variations can be done.
The report data studied through bioinformatics will be presented along with Variant Call Format (VCF), Annotation Result Excel Format (xls).

• Resequencing
Resequencing allows to find and compare genetic mutations by using a known reference genome.

De novo sequencing
De novo sequencing is used for analysis of genetic information of a newly found species without any references, which allows to undergo comparative analysis for variant characteristics and gene variety in detail. Thus, De novo sequencing requires highly advanced technologies to generate a draft map and a fine map. For creating a successive, complete  de novo genome, various types of libraries (200 bp, 500 bp, 2 kb, 5 kb, 10 kb, 20 kb) are constructed to be used for the analysis.

Whole exome sequencing(WES) undergoes selective gene analysis of exons only, which are protein coding regions comprising only 1% of the whole genome (~30 Mb).
Targeted sequencing can selectively analyze regions of a specific area of a gene.
As the specific kit is used for capturing the target region before undergoing the sequencing process, this not only increases the sequencing depth, but also can be more economic than the whole genome sequencing. This sequencing technology can be also used for clinical researches, diagnostics, and forensics to distinguish variants and genes.

▼ Exome / Targeted DNA Sequencing Process

RNA sequencing(Transcriptome) can provide information for genes activated in a specific point which can be used for quantification and analysis for their structures and functions. Also, this technology can be applied in the fields of general RNA studies, medical researches, pharmacogenetics, and customized medical researches (gene expression profiles, post-translational modifications, SNPs or mutation over time)
This service can be also done for total RNA, small RNA (miRNA, tRNA), de novo sequencing.

All epigenetic gene regulation mechanisms for their activation are controlled by DNA methylation and histone modifications. Those can be inherited, but can also be affected by diets, habits, and environments. Epigenetic gene modifications are being widely studied as those have been known to be related to occurrence or progress of various diseases, including cancers. Data gained from those types of analysis can be useful for not  only diagnostics, but also surgeries to predict the response and conditions after the treatments or the progress of a disease.
Analysis can be done through CHIP-Seq, which have advantages of high resoutions, MeDIP-Seq, or bisulfite-Seq for the whole genome.

Metagenome Sequencing is not only for a single species or an organism, but for samples collected in a specific environment to analyze their genes to compare the differences in the patterns or interactions of genes for a microbial community.
This service is widely used for analysis in clinical researches, biotechnology, or a microbial biogeography of gut microbiota, which have raised interests of many researchers through 16S rRNA or 18S rRNA, which are widely used as markers for species identification.
