Overview
Bacterial genome reference based data analysis is a cutting-edge technique that deciphers the complete genetic code of bacteria using high-throughput Illumina sequencing. This analysis enables precise identification of bacterial species, detection of antimicrobial resistance genes, virulence factors, and phylogenetic relationships. It is invaluable for diagnosing complex infections, guiding targeted therapy, and epidemiological surveillance. At DNA Labs India, we offer this advanced analysis at an affordable cost of INR 15000, ensuring accessibility to precision medicine. The test is performed on extracted DNA samples, and results are delivered within 4 weeks. Our expert team ensures rigorous quality control and interpretation, supporting clinicians in making informed decisions for patient management.

Questions customers ask
Frequently asked questions
What is bacterial genome reference based data analysis?
It is a technique that sequences the entire genome of a bacterium and compares it to a reference genome to identify species, resistance genes, and virulence factors.
What is the cost of this test at DNA Labs India?
The cost is INR 15000, which includes sequencing, analysis, and interpretation.
What sample is required for this test?
Extracted DNA from a bacterial culture or clinical sample. The DNA must be of high quality and quantity.
How long does it take to get results?
The turnaround time is approximately 4 weeks.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across major cities in India.
Can this test detect antibiotic resistance?
Yes, it can detect known antimicrobial resistance genes, which helps guide treatment.
Is this test covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage varies. Please check with your insurance provider. We also offer affordable self-pay options.
What is the difference between reference-based and de novo analysis?
Reference-based analysis aligns reads to a known reference genome, while de novo assembles the genome without a reference. Reference-based is faster and cheaper.
Can this test be used for outbreak investigation?
Yes, it is highly useful for molecular typing and tracking the spread of bacterial strains.
Are there any special preparations needed?
No, but the extracted DNA sample must be provided in a sterile container with proper labeling.
What is the sample type?
Extracted DNA. The laboratory does not accept whole blood or swabs directly for this test.
Who will interpret the results?
Our team of clinical geneticists and infectious disease specialists will interpret the results and provide a comprehensive report.
