Whole-Genome Sequencing

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) determines the entire DNA sequence of an organism’s genome. It is the most comprehensive genomics method, capable of identifying all types of sequence variants. Avidity sequencing provides new opportunities to improve the accuracy and completeness of genomes, with:

• The ability to sequence inserts longer than 500 bp, improving variant calling with better access to ‘hard to sequence’ regions than other short read technologies
• Low GC bias
• Industry-leading accuracy, with >90% of data Q30 or greater
• Unparalleled accuracy through homopolymer regions
