Overview
ddRAD (double digest Restriction-site Associated DNA) sequencing is a reduced-representation sequencing method that uses two restriction enzymes to fragment the genome, followed by size selection and high-throughput sequencing. This approach targets a subset of the genome, enabling cost-effective discovery of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across multiple samples. Primary data analysis is the initial computational step that processes raw sequencing reads (FASTQ files) to generate high-quality variant calls. It includes quality trimming, adapter removal, read alignment to a reference genome, variant calling, and initial filtering. At DNA Labs India, we provide comprehensive primary data analysis for 96 samples at a competitive price of INR 125,000. Our bioinformatics team ensures rigorous quality control and reproducible pipelines, making this service ideal for population genetics, conservation genomics, and trait association studies. With a turnaround time of 4 weeks, we deliver detailed reports including alignment statistics, variant call format (VCF) files, and quality metrics. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure and experienced geneticists ensure accurate and reliable results for your research or clinical projects.

The purpose of ddRAD sequencing primary data analysis is to process raw sequencing data from 96 samples to identify genetic variants (SNPs) that can be used for various applications such as population structure analysis, linkage mapping, association studies, and marker-assisted selection. This analysis is crucial for ensuring data quality and accuracy before downstream interpretation.
