Human Genomics at Macrogen
At Macrogen, we make exploring human genomic variation easier and more accessible than ever. Using the latest technology, we deliver high-depth sequencing, long read lengths, and uniform coverage with exceptional accuracy. Our services are perfect for cancer genome studies, tumour vs. control comparisons for SNP, CNV, and SV analysis, as well as low-depth coverage projects. We also support population genomics, pharmacogenomics, and inherited disease research with whole genome sequencing (WGS).
With the capacity to handle up to 300,000 WGS or equivalent applications annually, we ensure a smooth workflow and reliable results. Even for large and complex projects, our typical turnaround time is just 4 to 6 weeks.
