Research Human Whole Genome Sequencing
Unmatched throughput, competitive pricing, and reliable data at scale. Transform your research with the leader in genomic services.
Maximize Insights with Human Whole Genome Sequencing
Unlocking groundbreaking discoveries in disease biomarkers and novel genes often hits a wall: the high cost and complexity of comprehensive whole genome studies. Broad Clinical Labs makes research-grade whole genome sequencing (WGS) accessible by providing affordable, scalable short and long read solutions. Now, every researcher can unlock the full potential of genomic analysis— from focused investigations to population-scale analyses.
Our suite of research-grade whole genome sequencing services are designed to deliver maximum insights from your samples.
Short Read Services with Illumina® NovaSeq X Plus
PCR-free WGS
Ideal for high-quality samples where superior coverage uniformity and minimal GC bias are critical
PCR-plus WGS
Enables high-quality sequencing from challenging samples with limited quantity or quality (e.g. FFPE)
Long Read Service with with PacBio Revio™
Generates HiFi reads using circular consensus sequencing, optimal for resolving structural variants, methylation events, haplotype phasing and tandem repeats
Powerful Scalability and Industry-Leading Affordability
As a trusted service provider of both Illumina and PacBio technologies, you can leverage both advanced sequencing technologies from one source, ensuring you get the right solution to your research challenges.
