Plasmidsaurus

Sequencing Service

Fully sequence your entire construct, including insert and backbone, using the Oxford Nanopore long-read technology. No primers required.

Results include: 

  • Sequence files - get a polished consensus sequence of your plasmid. FASTA, .GBK, .ab1
  • Plasmid map - see a graphical representation of your DNA sequence, including genes & promoters
  • Read length histogram - view the read length distribution of your sample's raw reads

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Place your sequencing request with Plasmidsaurus by visiting www.plasmidsaurus.com or by scanning this QR code:
