Single Cell Sequencing

Single cell sequencing is used for the study of heterogeneous samples, rare cell types, cell lineage relationships, and disease evolution. We offer high quality, affordable single cell services, with world-class support from our highly experienced single cell project experts.

 

Single Cell Sequencing Introduction 

Single cell sequencing is commonly applied to solve problems associated with the study of heterogeneous samples, rare cell types, cell lineage relationships, and disease evolution. By using deep sequencing of DNA and RNA from a single cell, cellular functions of individual cells can be investigated in great detail.

BGI applies the superior method of Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA) for single cell genomic DNA amplification (WGS/WES), and Switching Mechanism at 5′ End of RNA Template (SMART-seq2) for single cell RNA amplification (transcriptome/RNA quantification). Contact us with your project requirements, our experts are here to help.
 

DNBSEQ™ Technology Platforms

BGI's Single Cell 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™ is a proprietary sequencing technology, first developed by BGI's Complete Genomics subsidiary in Silicon Valley, and can offer advantages in terms of lower amplification error rates and much lower duplication rates for some sequencing applications. In addition, studies have shown the index hopping rate in DNBSEQ™ platforms can be much lower when compared to that of other platforms.
