Overview
De novo assembly of plant genomes is a complex process due to their large size, high heterozygosity, and repetitive content. Diploid plant genome de novo assembly and annotation using Illumina technology provides a cost-effective and efficient approach to generate high-quality genome assemblies. This service includes library preparation, sequencing on Illumina platforms, and comprehensive bioinformatics analysis to assemble the genome and annotate genes. The resulting assembly enables identification of gene content, structural variations, and evolutionary insights, which are essential for crop improvement, conservation, and functional genomics studies. DNA Labs India offers this service at an affordable cost of INR 250,000, ensuring reliable results with a turnaround time of 8 weeks. The service is available across major cities in India with free home sample collection for extracted DNA.
To be completed — reclassified from Tests on 2026-11-13.
The purpose of this test is to generate a high-quality de novo genome assembly and annotation for diploid plant species. This is essential for understanding the genetic basis of traits, identifying genes responsible for important agronomic characteristics, and facilitating marker-assisted breeding. The assembly provides a reference genome for further studies, including transcriptomics, epigenomics, and evolutionary analysis.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cost of the Diploid Plant Genome De Novo Assembly and Annotation-Illumina test?
The cost is INR 250,000, which includes library preparation, sequencing, assembly, and annotation.
What sample type is required for this test?
Extracted DNA of high quality (? 2 µg, concentration ? 50 ng/µL) is required.
How long does it take to get the results?
Reports are delivered within 8 weeks from sample receipt.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across major cities in India.
What is the difference between de novo assembly and resequencing?
De novo assembly builds a new reference genome without a prior reference, while resequencing maps reads to an existing reference.
Can this test be used for polyploid plants?
No, this test is specifically designed for diploid plant genomes. Polyploid genomes require specialized approaches.
What quality metrics are included in the report?
The report includes assembly size, N50 values, BUSCO completeness, number of predicted genes, and GC content.
Is the test NABL accredited?
Yes, DNA Labs India is NABL accredited and ISO certified.
Can I submit my own extracted DNA?
Yes, you can submit extracted DNA. Ensure it meets the quality and quantity requirements.
What is the turnaround time for the report?
The turnaround time is 8 weeks from the date of sample receipt.
Are there any additional costs?
The price includes all steps from library preparation to annotation. No hidden charges.
How should I ship the DNA sample?
Ship the DNA sample on dry ice in a DNA LoBind tube with proper labeling and a completed requisition form.
