High Density SNP Genotyping
deCODE genetics has a long track record of providing the scientific community with the most effective and comprehensive microsatellite and SNP genotyping and sequencing services available. Not only do we generate your data, we also enable you to leverage our capabilities to manage and store your data to drive your discovery effort.
With more than a decade of leadership at every stage of technological advancement for generating genomic data, we can offer genome-wide scans using either high-density or customized sets of microsatellites and SNPs. We provide a one-stop solution for our clients, with a high throughput, CLIA- and CAP-certified, CSPro laboratory that can process all Illumina BeadChips.
Our genome-wide association service leverages our expertise in genotyping which our clients have learned to value and trust. Our industrial scale SNP genotyping laboratory offers you fast turnaround without compromising on care and quality.
Whole-genome SNP genotyping technology
We provide a one-stop solution for our clients, with a high throughput, CLIA- and CAP-certified, CSPro laboratory that can process all Illumina BeadChips.Our goal is to provide clients with the most reliable, accurate and information-rich method for performing genome-wide association studies. After evaluating competing technologies, deCODE chose the Illumina platform for its per-sample genomic coverage and data quality.
The Illumina BeadChip uses the Infinium II Assay to capture millions of SNP and CNV loci in a single-tube method that does not require PCR. All BeadChips were specifically designed to include SNPs at even spacing across the genome and give preference to tagSNPs that have been identified as reliable proxies for an even larger pool of SNP loci.
Our high-throughput SNP laboratory features a large number of Illumina’s Bead Lab machines and dedicated high-throughput liquid handling robots for rapid data generation. All operations are highly automated for speed, quality control, and real-time process monitoring. For quality assurance all plates, instruments and operators are labeled with barcodes allowing easy back-tracking,performance monitoring, and audit management. Our facility-wide LIMS tracks samples from their intake through all phases of data generation, analysis and delivery.
One-stop solution
deCODE provides you with detailed instructions as well as containers and barcode labels to prepare and ship your samples to our laboratory.
Once we receive your samples we quantitate every sample with pico green, re-normalize concentration and verify the integrity of the DNA by genotyping a subset of your samples along with a reference sample. After verification we process the rest of the samples and conduct quality assurance tests on the resulting data.
When your data is ready for release we send you an email, and provide immediate access to the data on a secure FTP site. Your samples are handled throughout by our experienced project mangement team dedicated to quality and service. We put a premium on care in sample handling, data quality as well as fast turn-around.
