Driving Africa’s Genomic Revolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though Africa boasts of the most diverse genome worldwide, less than 1% of African genomic data is presently available for use in disease management and prevention. We want to change this. Our passion is to generate and provide access to actionable genetic data that can be used to guide disease prevention as well as inform clinical decisions. Our DNA sequencing services in Africa are useful for researchers, academia, students, doctors, and professionals in the agricultural, biomedical, and biological fields. Adoption of DNA sequencing i<\/a>n Africa will revolutionize public health and transform responses to other major health threats<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DNA Sequencing for Clinical Samples<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our DNA sequencing services for clinical samples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nDetection of Viruses\n\n\n\nIdentification of bacteria and fungi, strain typing, antimicrobial resistance genes testing and microbiome analysis.\n\n\n\nCancer panel tests for breast, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, gastric, skin, thyroid, and parathyroid cancer.\n\n\n\nCarrier screening <\/a>to find out if one is a carrier of a gene for a genetic disorder.\n\n\n\nPrenatal test (NIPT Test)<\/a> to diagnose genetic conditions such as Down’s Syndrome (Trisomy 21) in the unborn.\n\n\n\nNewborn screening<\/a> to identify metabolic conditions such as galactosemia and PKU in newborns at birth.\n\n\n\nPharmacogenetics to help doctors predict a patient\u2019s response to a given drug and prescribe only effective and safe drugs. It also helps doctors to individualize treatment\n\n\n\n<\/div>

DNA Sequencing for Researchers, Pharma and Biotech Companies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We help researchers design and implement their sequencing projects. Our services are customized to fit your needs in a way that will aid you to accomplish the project aims and objectives in a cost-effective manner and within the desired time frame. DNA sequencing services for researchers include whole genome sequencing (WGS), whole exome sequencing (WES), targeted gene sequencing, sanger sequencing, and 16s\/18s\/ITS\/shotgun metagenomics. Pharma and biotech companies can outsource their sequencing needs to us.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
