Advantages
Direct, native detection bypasses the need for bisulfite conversion and PCR amplification, eliminating their associated biases and DNA damage.
WBL’s sequencing technology enables the analysis of:
- Copy Number Variants
(CNVs, dependent on read length and depth) - Modified Bases (5mC, 5hmC; also 6mA for bacteria)
- Short Tandem Repeat Expansions (STRs, dependent on read length and depth)
- Phasing Data (dependent on read length and depth)
- Small Variants (SNPs)
- Structural Variants
