Comments
Sanger sequencing price is quite low. The facility promises to provide 30% longer reads than outside competitors. It is interesting to note that PeakTrace improves the read length by 30% or more.
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) available through NGS Core.
Have discontinued Sanger DNA Sequencing services.
