Unique DNBSEQ™ Sequencing Technology
BGI Genomics' Human Whole Genome Sequencing services are typically executed with proprietary DNBSEQ™ sequencing technology platforms, for great sequencing data at some of the lowest costs in the industry. DNBSEQ™ can offer advantages in terms of lower amplification error rates and much lower duplication rates in WGS/WES applications. In addition, studies have shown the lower index hopping rate in DNBSEQ™ platforms.
