Overview
ddRAD (double digest restriction-site associated DNA) sequencing is a robust and cost-effective method for genome-wide genetic variation analysis. It involves the digestion of genomic DNA with two restriction enzymes, followed by adapter ligation, PCR amplification, and high-throughput sequencing. This technique reduces genome complexity, allowing deep sequencing of specific regions across many samples simultaneously. At DNA Labs India, we offer ddRAD sequencing and primary analysis for 96 samples at a competitive price of INR 480,000. The service includes DNA extraction (if needed), library preparation, sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq platform, and comprehensive primary bioinformatics analysis. The primary analysis pipeline includes quality control, read mapping to a reference genome, variant calling (SNPs and indels), and functional annotation. The output is a detailed report of genetic variants, which can be used for research, population genetics, and diagnostic applications. Our experienced geneticists and bioinformaticians ensure high accuracy and reliability. This service is ideal for researchers, clinicians, and institutions requiring large-scale genotyping. We adhere to strict quality standards and provide timely results. For more information or to book this test, contact DNA Labs India today.

Questions customers ask
Frequently asked questions
What is ddRAD sequencing?
ddRAD (double digest restriction-site associated DNA) sequencing is a reduced-representation sequencing method that uses two restriction enzymes to fragment genomic DNA, followed by adapter ligation and high-throughput sequencing. It allows genome-wide variant discovery at a lower cost than whole-genome sequencing.
How many samples are included in this test?
This test includes 96 samples. The cost is INR 480,000 for all 96 samples.
What is the turnaround time for results?
The turnaround time is 8 weeks from the time the samples are received at the lab.
What type of sample is required?
The preferred sample is extracted DNA. If you do not have extracted DNA, we can extract DNA from blood or saliva samples.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
What does the primary analysis include?
Primary analysis includes quality control, read mapping, variant calling (SNPs and indels), and annotation.
Can this test be used for clinical diagnosis?
ddRAD sequencing is primarily used for research and population genetics. For clinical diagnosis, targeted gene panels or whole exome sequencing may be more appropriate. However, the variants identified can be further validated for clinical relevance.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 480,000 for 96 samples, which includes all steps from DNA extraction (if needed) to primary analysis and reporting.
Are there any additional charges?
No, the price is inclusive of all steps mentioned. However, if you require additional analysis or interpretation, there may be extra charges.
How should I prepare for the test?
No special preparation is required. If providing a blood sample, no fasting is needed.
Can I get a discount for multiple batches?
Please contact our customer service for bulk pricing or institutional discounts.
How do I book this test?
You can book online through our website or call our customer care. We offer home sample collection for your convenience.
