Overview
3 Kb matepair library preparation is an advanced DNA sequencing technique offered by DNA Labs India, designed to detect large genomic rearrangements such as deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations. This method involves creating a library of DNA fragments with a defined size range of 3 kilobases, which are then sequenced using high-throughput platforms. It is particularly valuable for identifying structural variants in complex genomes, including cancer genomes, providing a comprehensive view that may be missed by other sequencing methods. The technique is cost-effective, requiring less sequencing compared to whole genome sequencing, and has a relatively fast turnaround time of 2-3 weeks. At DNA Labs India, this service is available at a cost of INR 42,000, which includes library preparation, sequencing, and data analysis. Genetic abnormalities detected through this test can cause symptoms like developmental delays, intellectual disability, physical abnormalities, behavioral issues, and chronic health problems. Diagnosis of these abnormalities may involve various methods, including karyotyping, microarray analysis, whole exome sequencing, and whole genome sequencing. If you suspect a genetic abnormality, consulting a healthcare professional is essential for appropriate diagnostic options.
