Whole Genome Sequencing

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) provides a comprehensive overview of the entire genome and is applicable to a wide range of research fields. It is particularly useful for forward genetic and epigenetic screens, as well as biomarker discovery in precision medicine, disease diagnostics, oncology, microbiome studies, agricultural sciences, virology, pharmacogenomics, and more. 

At WBL, our Whole Genome Sequencing service leverages the Oxford Nanopore Technologies platform to harness the power of long reads. WBL’s proprietary comprehensive bioinformatic WGS reports offer accessible data packages for your analyses.

The Power Of Long-Read Sequencing

WBL’s technology leverages the power of Nanopore long reads. Now equipped with clinically-viable sequencing accuracy and yield, long-read technologies are positioned to advance research and clinical diagnostics. 

Long reads are particularly advantageous when investigating epigenetic modifications and genomic regions that are challenging to sequence with short-read approaches. These include highly repetitive regions, structural variations, and other complexities.

Richer data with WBL’s Whole Genome Sequencing

Acquire whole genome sequencing (WGS) data with proprietary comprehensive reporting. Leveraging Nanopore sequencing technology, obtain unbiased, native strand sequence and epigenetic data.

  • Small Variants (SNPs)
  • Copy Number Variants (CNVs)
  • Short Tandem Repeat Expansions (STRs)
  • Modified Bases (5mC, 5hmC; also 6mA for bacteria)
  • Phasing Data (given the right read depth and length)
  • Structural Variants
