Whole Genome Amplification
Low DNA quantities are often the limiting factor in large stydies with extensive sequence analysis' like large scale SNP genotyping. To use these samples and running these studies in a timely fashion, Bioglobe offers the service of Whole Genome Amplification (WGA). The original DNA sample is preamplified without time-extensive steps like cloning using the well established and commonly accepted method of Phi29 DNA polymerase reaction. This preamplified material is suitable for several hundred more analysis.
Optional, Bioglobe offers a basic function test comparing the performance of the preamplified material with the original DNA sample. This genotyping test is run on the MassARRAY® platform. The opportunity to select customized SNP panels for this analysis is given.
