Genomics Division

Whole Exome Analysis (WES)

Focusing on the 1-2% of the genome that codes for proteins. We provide high-depth, high-precision analysis for clinical diagnostics, rare Mendelian diseases, and complex oncology research.

Analysis Capabilities

1. Clinical Exome & Rare Diseases

Identification of causative mutations in probands or family trios (Trio-WES).

Variant filtering based on population frequency (gnomAD, 1000G).
Pathogenicity classification following strict ACMG/AMP guidelines.

2. Oncology & Somatic Calling

Tumor-Normal paired analysis to identify driver mutations, tumor mutational burden (TMB), and microsatellite instability (MSI).

3. Exonic CNV Detection

Beyond SNPs and Indels, we utilize read-depth algorithms to detect Copy Number Variations (deletions/duplications) spanning individual or multiple exons.

Application Focus

Diagnostic Research: Solving diagnostic odysseys for inherited genetic disorders using phenotype-driven gene panels (HPO terms).
Cancer Genomics: Identifying actionable mutations for precision oncology and targeted therapeutics.
Population Studies: Discovering novel variants in specific ethnic cohorts and performing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on exome data.

Instrument Compatibility

Standard Short-Read WES

Illumina (NovaSeq, NextSeq), MGI (DNBSEQ-G400, T7), AVITI (Element Biosciences), Thermo Fisher (Ion Proton/S5). Compatible with Agilent SureSelect, Twist Bioscience, and Illumina Nextera capture kits.

Targeted Long-Read Panels

PacBio (Revio) and Oxford Nanopore for phasing clinically relevant exonic regions and resolving pseudogenes.

AI Pipeline & Data Quality

• Data Quality: Q30 > 80%, On-Target Rate > 70%.
• Required Depth: >50x (Research), >100x (Clinical Mendelian), >200x to 500x (Somatic/Tumor).
• AI Utilization: We integrate Google DeepVariant for highly accurate variant calling and Google AlphaMissense / PrimateAI-3D for state-of-the-art pathogenicity prediction of unknown missense variants.

Tools: BWA-MEM, GATK4 (Mutect2 for somatic), DeepVariant, SnpEff, VEP, ExomeDepth, InterVar (ACMG).
