Whole Genome Amplification

A unique method for immortalizing precious, rare or depleted DNA sample collections

At Geneservice we understand that access to large amounts of good-quality DNA for genomic assays can be a serious limiting factor in accelerating research efforts. The revolutionary Whole Genome Amplification (WGA) method offered by Geneservice overcomes the limitations by allowing researchers to rescue minute quantities of DNA, and provides greater flexibility to work with small samples and archived material.

Turning nanograms into micrograms in just a few days
Whole Genome Amplification offered by Geneservice utilizes the leading Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA) method. This innovative technology produces amplified DNA with comprehensive coverage of all gene sequences and with unprecedented low bias. This revolutionary method allows scientists at Geneservice to rescue minute quantities of DNA from a range of starting materials. Stringent QC controls allow a thorough assessment of the amplified DNA for usability for downstream genotyping applications such as, microsatellites, Taqman assays, SNP microarray assays, all of which are available through Geneservice.

The specialist team at Geneservice has extensive experience working with many different starting materials from academic researchers, government institutes, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies worldwide. WGA has been used successfully to immortalize samples for use in a wide range of applications in target discovery/ validation, toxiocogenomics, translational research, pharmacogenomics, diagnostic, forensics, epidemiology, oncology research and cytogenetics.
