Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has the potential to unlock causative factors from our genetic material. NGS also represents a technological advancement using array-based sequencing that will improve many aspects of scientific research and advance the field of personalized medicine.

Avance Biosciences™ offers several Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) services with Illumina’s MiSeq and HiSeq 2500 V4 platforms. Our NGS services are uniquely designed to support drug development and manufacturing.  We help our biopharm and biotech partners to develop, validate, and perform NGS assays, in compliance with GLP or cGMP regulations if needed.

Amplicon
Sequencing

Avance Biosciences™ offers custom amplicon sequencing assay development and validation services to support our clients’ preclinical safety studies and clinical trial pharmacokinetics studies (GLP), as well as rare mutation detection in gene constructs utilized in drug manufacturing.  State-of-the-art Illumina MiSeq platform is used.

Small Genome
Sequencing

Avance Biosciences™ is offering NGS services to help our clients to characterize bacterial cell lines and viral genomes, as well as other small genomes including plasmids.  Sequencing libraries will be prepared using high fidelity amplification enzymes and use PCR-free protocols if possible to reduce potential bias introduced by PCR.

Adventitious Agent
Testing

Next generation sequencing (NGS) is quickly gaining regulatory agencies’ acceptance as a sensitive and un-biased detection method for adventitious agents. Avance Biosciences™ is positioned to be a strategic partner with our pharmaceutical clients in establishing this powerful tool for testing viral contaminants in cell substrates and biological products.

Transcriptome
Sequencing

Avance Biosciences™ offers mRNA-Seq service using Illumina next generation sequencing platform to identify all mRNA transcripts expressed in a biological sample and precisely measure the relative quantities of each transcript including each isoform having different splicing patterns.

Gene Integration
Study

Traditionally, Southern blot analysis is the method of choice to satisfy FDA’s requirements of charactering cell line genetic stability. Avance Biosciences™ is now offering two NGS approaches to analyze the transgene insertion sites.

Cancer Panel
Sequencing

Avance Biosciences™ offers Illumina’s TruSeq Amplicon – Cancer Panel (TSACP) to support cancer research. The TSACP is a highly multiplexed targeted resequencing assay for detecting somatic mutations, such as BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR.
