Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) Service for Cancer
Whole exome sequencing (WES) is especially suitable for patients who are looking for a unifying diagnosis for multiple medical problems. With years of research and development experience in the field of next-generation sequencing (NGS), Creative Biolabs has established a cutting-edge SuPrecision™ platform for NGS services. WES with our comprehensive bioinformatics pipeline is a powerful tool to study a person’s exome, especially cancer patient. We are pleased to use our extensive experience and advanced platform to offer the best WES service to satisfy each demand from our customers.
The Background of WES
With the advent of NGS, it is now feasible to sequence large amounts of DNA. The exome (the protein-coding region of the genome) represents less than 2% of the genome. WES provides coverage of more than 95% of the exons, which harbor the majority of the genetic variants associated with human disease phenotypes, making WES a cost-effective alternative to whole-genome sequencing. WES offers researchers the ability to use sequencing and analysis resources more efficiently by focusing on the most relevant portion of the genome and facilitates the discovery and validation of common and rare variants. WES provides many of the benefits of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) with greatly reduced resources. WES can efficiently identify coding variants across a wide range of applications, including population genetics, genetic disease, and cancer studies.
Cancer WES Service at Creative Biolabs
Equipped with world-leading technology platforms and professional scientific staff, Creative Biolabs has accumulated rich experience in performing every step for WES and comprehensive WES sequencing bioinformatics analysis. Our workflow of WES consists of 1) experimental design, 2) library preparation & exome enrichment, 3) sequencing and 4) variant calling & downstream analysis. Creative Biolabs accepts purified genomic DNA, frozen cell pellets and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) thin tissue sections (slides) as starting material for WES projects.
