Exome Sequencing
The experts at the Applied Bioinformatics Laboratories provide exome sequencing services. DNA sequencing of the protein-coding regions in a genome or other targeted regions is used to identify single-nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, copy-number, and structural alterations.
Request an Exome Sequencing Service
To request this service from us, please provide the following:
- a sample sheet with the corresponding conditions for the samples
- the organism(s) of the particular study
- the link to the generated FASTQ data (obtained from NYU Langone’s Genome Technology Center or another sequencing facility)
- a BED file listing the target regions and probes
You receive the following from us:
- a comprehensive report
- quality assessment (read quality, alignment, and coverage statistics)
- aligned, sorted, and recalibrated BAM files
- high-confidence mutation and/or SNP calls, raw and after filtering and annotation
- low-frequency mutations (in cancer samples)
- insertions and deletions
- annotated table containing all variants
Additional or Customized Analyses
We also provide the following analyses:
- pathway enrichment analysis
- copy number variation analysis
- customized plots
Each of these may be subject to an additional charge.
