Sanger Sequencing

Fast and Accurate Sanger Sequencing in Africa

Sanger sequencing is the gold standard in DNA sequencing and helps to validate Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis.

Sanger is the preferred method for the identification of microbials, detection of SNPs, small construct/gene identification, and other applications which require a quick, cost effective solution. Sanger sequencing is also the preferred method to validate Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis studies as well as regulatory submission studies. We provide a range of DNA sequencing services tailored to meet your needs and these include the Direct Colony Sequencing Service (DCSS), Single Pass DNA, full Sequence Analysis (FSA), and PCR and sequencing of genomic DNA targets. Sequence data and variant analysis results are publication quality.

Applications of Sanger Sequencing

Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) Typing to match patients and donors for cord blood or bone marrow transplants.


Mitochondrial Sequencing to determine one's maternal ancestry and for human identification purposes as well as in aging research and in the study of human diseases such as cancer and diabetes.


Low-level somatic variant detection in in material containing minimal amounts of DNA such as tumor FFPE samples.


Microbial genetics - to study microbes for purposes of disease control, gene cloning, research, and determination of drug resistance


To determine the accuracy of CRISPR and TALEN-mediated genome editing

Expert Bioinformatics Analysis

PhD-level bioinformatics analysis is bundled with the sequencing services and aids in the accurate identification of the following:

  • Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
  • Structural variants (SVs) and multiple number variants (MNVs).
  • copy number variants (CNVs)
  • single nucleotide variants (SNVs)
  • Insertions and deletions (indels)
  • We also use cutting edge tools to explore, detect, quantify, and characterize epigenetic modifications.
