Human Mitochondrial DNA Sequencing/Analysis
AfroBiomics offers specialized Human Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Sequencing, enabling precise identification and interpretation of variations within the human mitochondrial genome. This service supports clinical diagnostics, maternal lineage tracing, and evolutionary studies, providing a window into inherited traits and disorders passed through the maternal line.
What We Offer: Complete mtDNA Genome Sequencing: High-depth coverage of all 37 mitochondrial genes, including coding regions, rRNAs, and control regions.
Accurate Variant Detection: Identification of point mutations, deletions, duplications, and heteroplasmic variants.
Haplogroup Assignment: Determine mitochondrial lineage for ancestry, forensics, and population studies.
Clinical Interpretation: Analysis of variants associated with mitochondrial syndromes and metabolic disorders.
Key Features: Ultra-sensitive detection of heteroplasmy (down to <1%)
Fast and reliable workflows from extraction to final report
Comprehensive annotation with medical and evolutionary relevance
Secure and ethical handling of personal genomic data
Applications: Diagnosis of mitochondrial diseases (e.g. MELAS, LHON, MERRF)
