BGI's human whole genome sequencing (WGS) service detects the complete genome sequence at one time and provides a high-resolution, base-by-base view of the genome. This enables researchers to see both large and small variants and identify potential causative variants for further follow-on gene expression or regulation mechanism studies.
WGS can be applied to a wide range of human genetics research applications including, evolution studies to detect genome-wide genetic variations and pathogenic and susceptibility gene analysis. It can also be applied to translational research to provide information on cancer and disease-associated mutations, and is one of the most important research approaches in precision medicine.
Our high quality, cost-efficient WGS services have seen most of our partners transition away from microarray-based genotyping studies. We provide WGS services in a range of coverages to suit all research requirements. Contact us for a no obligation discussion about your project.
