Overview
DNA library preparation is a fundamental step in next-generation sequencing (NGS), particularly for Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). This process involves fragmenting DNA, repairing ends, and ligating adapters to create a library that can be sequenced on the ONT platform. At DNA Labs India, we offer this service at a cost of INR 30000, ensuring high-quality library construction for accurate genetic analysis. The procedure is essential for diagnosing various genetic disorders, including developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, certain cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological conditions. Our state-of-the-art laboratory uses advanced protocols to ensure optimal library yield and sequencing performance. With a turnaround time of 12 days, we provide comprehensive reports that aid clinicians in making informed decisions. The test is performed on extracted DNA samples, and we offer free home sample collection across major cities in India for patient convenience. Our team of experienced geneticists and bioinformaticians ensures reliable results, adhering to international quality standards.

Frequently asked questions
What is DNA library preparation?
DNA library preparation is a laboratory process that prepares DNA samples for sequencing by adding adapters and other modifications, enabling the DNA to be read by sequencing platforms like Oxford Nanopore Technology.
Why is DNA library preparation needed for ONT sequencing?
ONT sequencing requires DNA libraries with specific adapters that facilitate the threading of DNA through nanopores. Proper library preparation ensures efficient sequencing and accurate data generation.
What is the cost of DNA Library Preparation-ONT at DNA Labs India?
The cost is INR 30000, which includes library preparation, sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and a detailed report.
What sample type is required for this test?
The test requires extracted DNA. If you do not have extracted DNA, we can collect a blood or saliva sample for DNA extraction at an additional cost.
How long does the test take?
The turnaround time is 12 days from the time the sample reaches our laboratory.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across major cities in India.
What conditions can be diagnosed with this test?
This test is used for diagnosing genetic disorders such as developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, autism, certain cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required for this test.
Will I receive a report?
Yes, you will receive a comprehensive report including genetic findings and interpretation.
Are there any risks associated with this test?
There are no physical risks. However, genetic results may have psychological implications, and we recommend genetic counseling.
Can this test be done during pregnancy?
Yes, but it is typically used for prenatal diagnosis only after consultation with a genetic specialist.
How accurate is ONT sequencing?
ONT sequencing provides long reads and is highly accurate for detecting structural variants. However, for single nucleotide variants, it may require higher coverage or complementary methods.
