Next Generation Sequencing
Pioneering Medical Innovation and Equipment Provision
We offer standardized Next Generation Sequencing packages. Whether your project is large or small, simple or complex, we have the expertise to help you achieve your research goals.
Whole Genome Sequencing
We provide whole genome sequencing (WGS) for both large and small genomes providing advice on the most appropriate library preparation and sequencing approach for your project
Whole Exome Sequencing
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) targets the protein-coding regions of the genome and it requires sequencing of only 1-2% of the genome. It is much more cost-effective than sequencing the whole genome. CA Medlynks offers a flexible whole exome sequencing package to suit your research needs including enrichment, library preparation, and tailored sequencing depth
Whole Transcriptome/RNA Sequencing
We offer sequencing of different RNA species (coding, non-coding, and small transcripts) from a lengthy range of starting materials. Our solutions cover a wide variety for a variety of RNA sequencing techniques, including Total RNA, small RNA, and single-cell RNA sequencing.
Clinical Panels
We offer customized sequencing panels targeting clinically relevant genes, including oncology panels for cancer diagnosis and management, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders.
16S/18S/ITS Metagenomics
We offer both targeted and shotgun metagenomic sequencing options. Our targeted workflow amplifies specific variable regions and can be used to generate taxonomic profiles through bioinformatics pipelines. With Shotgun metagenomics we employ NextSeq 1000 for unbiased analysis of microbial communities to assess complete genomes from a sample.
Targeted Sequencing
Targeted sequencing is highly cost-effective as an alternative to whole genome sequencing. Targeted sequencing is at the forefront of cancer research and treatment. By sequencing known genes of clinical relevance, mutations can be detected which may influence response to a treatment.
Run-only sequencing
We offer Run-only sequencing of pre-made libraries on the Illumina NextSeq and iSeq 100 instruments providing a full range of sequencing read modes and outputs.
Bioinformatics
We provide a wide range of bioinformatics support services including: Variant calling, Genome Assembly, Gene Expression, Transcriptome Assembly, Taxonomical Classification, Custom Analysis.
