Shallow whole-genome sequencing/ analysis
AfroBiomics offers Shallow Whole-Genome Sequencing (sWGS) as a rapid and economical approach for capturing genome-wide data at low sequencing depth. Despite the lower coverage, this method is highly effective for detecting large-scale genomic features such as copy number variations (CNVs), aneuploidies, and structural rearrangements—making it ideal for population studies, tumor profiling, and genomic screening.
What We Offer: Low-Coverage (~0.1x to 5x) Whole-Genome Sequencing
Genome-Wide CNV and Ploidy Detection
Streamlined Bioinformatics Pipeline: Including read alignment, coverage analysis, CNV calling, and data visualization.
Scalable for High Sample Volumes: Suitable for cohort-based studies and preliminary screenings.
Key Features: Cost-effective compared to deep WGS or exome sequencing
Fast turnaround for screening and stratification
Supports DNA from a wide range of sources (tissues, cells, plasma, etc.)
Adaptable for both human and non-human species
Applications: Tumor purity and copy number analysis in cancer research
Prenatal and reproductive genomics (e.g., NIPT)
Population genomics and evolutionary studies
Genome-wide CNV mapping in livestock or crops
Genomic stability studies in cell lines and model organisms
