Overview

The purpose of this test is to generate a high-quality de novo genome assembly and annotation for diploid plant species. This is essential for understanding the genetic basis of traits, identifying genes responsible for important agronomic characteristics, and facilitating marker-assisted breeding. The assembly provides a reference genome for further studies, including transcriptomics, epigenomics, and evolutionary analysis.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

This test is primarily for research purposes. Consult with a geneticist or bioinformatician for interpretation and further experimental design.

Limitations

  • Illumina short reads may not resolve complex repeats or large structural variants
  • Assembly may be fragmented in highly repetitive regions
  • Annotation accuracy depends on availability of related reference genomes
  • Not suitable for polyploid or highly heterozygous genomes without additional technologies

Risks & Considerations

  • No physical risks as sample is extracted DNA
  • Potential for incomplete assembly due to genome complexity

Interfering Factors

  • DNA degradation or contamination
  • Insufficient DNA quantity or quality
  • High heterozygosity or polyploidy (not suitable for diploid assembly)
  • Presence of highly repetitive sequences
  • Incorrect sample labeling

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of the Diploid Plant Genome De Novo Assembly and Annotation-Illumina test?
The cost is INR 250,000, which includes library preparation, sequencing, assembly, and annotation.
What sample type is required for this test?
Extracted DNA of high quality (? 2 µg, concentration ? 50 ng/µL) is required.
How long does it take to get the results?
Reports are delivered within 8 weeks from sample receipt.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across major cities in India.
What is the difference between de novo assembly and resequencing?
De novo assembly builds a new reference genome without a prior reference, while resequencing maps reads to an existing reference.
Can this test be used for polyploid plants?
No, this test is specifically designed for diploid plant genomes. Polyploid genomes require specialized approaches.
