Whole Exome Sequencing

We rely on the quality of Agilent SureSelect libraries for our whole exome sequencing service.

Whole Exome Sequencing

We offer WES sequencing service using DNBSEQ™ technology and Agilent SureSelect libraries. The generated FASTQs are delivered through the Dreamgenics server or via hard disk, depending on the total file size.

Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) includes the coding regions (exons) of more than 20,000 genes described to date. It is estimated that about 85% of the known disease-causing mutations are located in the exons, which is why its analysis is one of the genomic tools with the highest diagnostic yield, especially in complex cases.

In addition, the identification and characterization of structural alterations in the genome (CNVs, mobile elements, inversions and translocations) can contribute to the diagnosis of some genetic diseases, as well as help to establish the necessary preventive strategies and implement the most appropriate treatments for each patient.

The WES sequencing we perform at Dreamgenics includes:

Stages of service

01

Initial counseling

We help you choose the sequencing conditions best suited to your project 

02

Receipt of samples

We receive your samples in our laboratory and perform quality control. 

03

Library preparation

We carry out the automated preparation of libraries and the quality control of the product obtained.

04

NGS sequencing

We perform the sequencing according to the chosen conditions and deliver the FASTQs to you via HDD or our FTP.

Available options

For WES sequencing we use Agilent SureSelect XT HS technology and Agilent SureSelect Human All Exon V8 and Agilent SureSelect Clinical Research Exome V4 probes.
