how is SNP Genotyping & Variant Detection by Sequencing working
Next-generation sequencing technologies have accelerated the discovery of novel SNPs and other variants, and these discoveries require confirmation with an orthogonal technology. Confidence and speed to results are of utmost importance in the validation of novel variants, and only Life Technologies provides both the gold-standard Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis technology for individual variant confirmation, and Ion Torrent™ Next-Generation Sequencing for fast confirmation of hundreds to thousands of variants in a single day.
Variant Detection by Sanger Sequencing
Sanger sequencing is the gold-standard sequencing technology, making it ideal for confirmation of novel variants. Designing sequencing experiments for variant detection is easier than ever with our new Primer Designer™ tool for Sanger sequencing (currently available in US & Canada), containing >300,000 predesigned primer pairs for PCR and sequencing.
