New instrument in Massey Genome Service (MGS)
Massey Genome Service has purchased an ABI3500XL genetic analyzer for sequencing and genotyping services. We will start processing samples using this new instrument soon. Details for the Sequencer can be found here.
Introduction Applied Biosystems Sanger Analysis Modules
Applied Biosystems Sanger Analysis Modules are free cloud based softwares. They are:
-
Quality Check - For basic quality check. View .ab1 data and compare performance against thresholds
-
Variant Analysis - For reference-based re-sequencing analyses
-
NGS Confirmation - For examination of CE variants to confirm variants detected by NGS platforms
-
Peak Scanner - For basic fragment quality check. View .fsa data, fragment sizes and identify peaks
-
Microsatellite Analysis - For genotyping based on DNA fragment size and microsatellite alleles present in sample
