## Technologies

![Amplicon Sequencing](/media/images/Amplicon_Seq.width-500.png)

### Amplicon Sequencing

With NGS increasing read length and base quality, amplification of one or many loci can be adopted as sequencing template. Whether interested to analyze the diversity of a single amplification product or to discover variability on limited set of interesting genes, Amplicon-Seq is a system that can provide adequate resolution and flexibility while maintaining a very affordable price to cope with large scale experiments/surveys. See [Metabarcoding](https://igatechnology.com/genomics-research-services/plantanimal/metabarcoding/) - [Metagenomics](https://igatechnology.com/genomics-research-services/plantanimal/metagenomics/) - [Clinical Genotyping](https://igatechnology.com/genomics-research-services/clinical-genotyping/)

![Whole Genome Sequencing](/media/images/Whole_genome_sequencing.width-500.png)

### Whole Genome Sequencing

The whole genome sequence as the most comprehensive overview of its composition. Identify most of the variability accounted by SNPs, CNVs, PAVs, insertions, deletions, translocations along with its functional impact on the genetic code an organism. Dedicated technologies are applied for *de novo* reconstruction of personal genomes to an affordable price, providing an unbiased method to depict each individual human \(and non-human\) genome. See [*de novo*](https://igatechnology.com/genomics-research-services/?area=plant#denovo) - [whole genome resequencing](https://igatechnology.com/genomics-research-services/whole-genomics-resequencing/).

![Nanopore Sequencing](/media/images/1.width-500.jpg)

### Nanopore Sequencing

Nanopore sequencing is empowering many applications by the ability to analyze DNA, RNA and their modifications with no limitation on sequence length. This is of particular importance when the goal is to resolve hard-to-sequence or repetitive regions that have so far hampered the possibility to decode structural and epigenetic variation. Also, direct RNA sequencing and full-length cDNA sequencing are providing unprecedented insight into the real strucure and abundance of transcripts isoforms.

### AVITI Element Biosciences

The AVITI System by Element Biosciences is a benchtop sequencer designed for high performance, cost efficiency, and flexibility. It features dual independent flow cells for parallel or independent operation, enabling flexibility in throughput from low to full. The system utilizes Avidity Sequencing™ technology, ensuring over 90% of reads exceed Q30 quality, with minimal errors, low duplication rates, and reduced AT/GC bias. It supports easy data conversion to FASTQ files, offers compatibility with numerous assays, and provides cost-effective sequencing. This is our ideal companion for dedicated and fast-turnaround run set-up. For more detailed information, you can visit their website directly at [https://www.elementbiosciences.com/products/aviti](https://www.elementbiosciences.com/products/aviti).
