Comments
IMGB Laboratories offer a wide range of DNA sequencing related services. They are not the cheapest nor the most expensive in Europe. The major limiting factor appears to be their sequencing instruments. IMGB appears to be running only 36cm arrays on their ABI 3730 and this appears to be why they are only able to offer up to 700 base reads. IGMB Laboratories may be worthwhile contacting if you require sequencing to be done for regulatory purposes as they appear relatively cheap for this type of service.
