WHOLE PLASMID SEQUENCING: PLASMID-EZ

 

Plasmid-EZ is an end-to-end solution that enables cost-effective, rapid, and high-throughput sequencing of whole plasmids. With conventional methods, only important regions of plasmids are sequenced which can fail to detect unwanted changes in other areas during replication and leave you to piece together an entire plasmid map. Using long-read sequencing, Plasmid-EZ provides complete verification of plasmid integrity and fidelity with results delivered in as fast as 1 business day upon receipt in our processing lab.

Now connected to our expansive dropbox network, Plasmid-EZ offers unparalleled convenience for sample submission. Simply order directly through our customer portal and deposit your samples at one of our convenient dropboxes.

 

 

What is whole plasmid sequencing?

Whole plasmid sequencing is the comprehensive read and analysis of a plasmid’s entire genetic code, known as plasmid DNA (pDNA).

Whole plasmid sequencing provides detailed insights into the genetic makeup of plasmids and how subsequent modifications of plasmids can be used in gene knockout and editing studies. By sequencing the whole plasmid, genomic data can be used to further the understanding of microbial diversity, evolution, and mechanisms underlying biological processes.

How is whole plasmid sequencing done?

Whole plasmid sequencing is carried out by isolating the plasmid DNA (pDNA), splicing the pDNA into smaller fragments, sequencing said fragments, then assembling the plasmid sequence data to reconstruct the full plasmid genome. Bioinformatics tools are then used to analyze the resulting sequencing data.
