Overview

The primary purpose of this test is to generate a high-quality reference genome for polyploid plant species, enabling detailed genetic and genomic studies. It facilitates the identification of genes responsible for agronomically important traits, supports marker-assisted breeding, and aids in understanding genome evolution. The annotated genome serves as a foundation for functional genomics, comparative genomics, and genetic improvement programs.

Step 1

Sample Collection

Ensure DNA is extracted using a high-quality method (e.g., CTAB or commercial kit) and quantified using Qubit or similar. DNA should be free of RNA and protein contamination. Ship on dry ice to maintain integrity.

Method: Extracted DNA shipment (dry ice)

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

No special requirements during collection as sample is extracted DNA.

Step 3

Report Delivery

Store DNA at -80°C until shipment. Provide detailed sample information including species, tissue source, and any relevant metadata.

Understanding Your Results

The results of this test provide a comprehensive assembly and annotation of the polyploid plant genome. The quality metrics (N50, BUSCO) indicate the completeness and contiguity of the assembly. Gene annotation reveals the functional content of the genome. These results are intended for research purposes and should be interpreted by qualified geneticists or bioinformaticians.
📊

Indicates a highly complete assembly covering most conserved genes

📊

May indicate fragmented assembly due to repetitive regions or insufficient coverage

📊

Suggests a complex genome with many functional elements

📊

May require additional RNA-seq data for improved gene prediction

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

This test is for research purposes and not for clinical diagnosis. Consult a geneticist or bioinformatician for interpretation of results and further research planning.

Limitations

  • Short-read assembly may not fully resolve highly repetitive regions
  • Phasing of homeologous chromosomes may be incomplete
  • Annotation accuracy depends on availability of transcriptomic evidence
  • Large genomes may require additional sequencing for optimal coverage

Risks & Considerations

  • No physical risks as this is a laboratory test on extracted DNA
  • Potential for incomplete assembly due to genome complexity
  • Data interpretation may require specialized expertise

Interfering Factors

  • DNA degradation or low molecular weight DNA
  • Contamination with host or bacterial DNA
  • Insufficient sequencing depth
  • High heterozygosity or repetitive content
  • Presence of multiple subgenomes with high similarity

Frequently Asked Questions

What is polyploid plant genome de novo assembly?
It is the process of constructing a reference genome for a polyploid plant species from scratch using sequencing data, without a reference genome.
Why is Illumina sequencing used for this test?
Illumina offers high accuracy and high throughput, making it suitable for generating deep coverage required for polyploid genome assembly.
What sample is required?
Extracted DNA of high molecular weight, typically 5-10 µg, from the plant tissue.
How long does the test take?
The turnaround time is 8 weeks from sample receipt.
What is included in the cost?
The cost includes library preparation, sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, assembly, annotation, and report generation.
Can you handle any polyploid plant species?
Yes, we can process various polyploid species, but genome complexity may affect assembly quality.
What quality metrics will be reported?
We report assembly size, N50, BUSCO completeness, GC content, and gene annotation statistics.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across major cities in India.
How should the DNA sample be shipped?
Ship on dry ice in a DNA-free tube with proper labeling and a completed requisition form.
Will the data be kept confidential?
Yes, all data is handled with strict confidentiality and security protocols.
Can this service be used for clinical diagnosis?
No, this is a research-use-only service and not intended for clinical diagnostics.
What if the assembly quality is poor?
We may recommend additional sequencing or alternative approaches, but additional costs may apply.
