Whole Genome Sequencing Services
Whole Genome Sequencing Services in India
Discuss Oxford Nanopore whole-genome research requirements for strain characterisation or comparative genomics. Sample suitability, platform, executing facility, capacity, quality checks and analysis deliverables must be confirmed before any work is accepted. An enquiry does not establish sequencing availability.

What's included
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Long-read Oxford Nanopore sequencing
Whole-genome sequencing on the Oxford Nanopore platform for research questions where long reads help resolve genomes, repeats and structural variation.
Research-led sample scoping
We start with the organism, sample condition and question you need answered, then confirm the right sequencing and analysis route before submission.
Genome assembly
Assemble sequencing reads into a usable genome resource with quality checks and clear documentation of the workflow.
Annotation & comparative analysis
Support for genome annotation, comparison and interpretation aligned to your research objective and the data available.
Variant analysis
Where appropriate for the project design, use alignment and variant-calling workflows to interpret relevant genomic differences.
Raw data plus interpretable outputs
Receive raw sequencing data alongside the agreed analysis outputs and a methods summary so your team can review and use the work responsibly.
Plan your project
Scope an Oxford Nanopore genome project from input to interpretation
A genome project should start with the organism, sample context and the question the sequence must address. Decide whether you need an assembly, comparison to a reference or a defined downstream analysis. These choices affect preparation, quality review and what a useful handover should contain.
Decision 1
Clarify the biological input
Explain whether you have a cultured isolate, extracted DNA or mixed material. An isolate-genome question and a microbial-community question are different study designs. Include any existing identity and purity information, and raise uncertainty about mixed material before choosing a whole-genome workflow.
Decision 2
Review DNA quality for the selected workflow
Oxford Nanopore guidance considers DNA quantity, purity and fragment length before library preparation. Provide available measurements and extraction history rather than assuming that a concentration value alone establishes suitability. The required material and acceptance criteria depend on the agreed workflow; request project-specific instructions before preparation or dispatch.
Oxford Nanopore: input DNA/RNA quality checks ↗Decision 3
Specify the analysis question and quality review
Assembly, annotation and reference-based variant analysis are separate deliverables. Discuss the relevant reference, genome characteristics and intended comparison before setting sequencing or analysis targets. A data-volume target alone is not a guarantee of a complete assembly or an interpretable biological finding; limitations need to accompany the outputs.
Make sequencing and analysis handovers explicit
Ask which basecalled reads, quality summaries, workflow details and analysis files are included. If you need underlying instrument data, a particular reference version or later reanalysis, raise that before quotation. Agree how quality failures, extra analysis and retention periods will be handled.

Project-specific analysis for defined comparison questions, scoped before work begins.
Fee Structure
A defined sequencing and analysis plan before samples move.
Genome projects differ in organism, DNA quality, sample count and analysis goal. We review the scientific question first, then set out the expected work, deliverables and quote in writing.
- Scope-first review of the research question and sample context
- Clear deliverables for raw data, analysis and reporting
- Scientist-guided discussion before any samples are sent
This service is offered for research and R&D purposes. It is not a clinical diagnostic or statutory testing service.
FAQ
Common questions.
What research questions can whole genome sequencing support?+
Whole genome sequencing can support isolate and strain characterisation, genome confirmation, assembly, comparative genomics and research questions that need more genomic context than a targeted assay provides. We confirm fit after reviewing your objective.
What will I receive after sequencing?+
You receive the agreed raw sequencing data and, where included in the scope, outputs such as assembly, annotation, analysis files and a documented methods summary.
Can Manna Biotech analyse data I already have?+
Yes. Use the Bioinformatics & NGS Analysis service when you already have sequence files and need assembly, annotation, variant analysis, figures or interpretation support.
How do I send samples?+
Contact us before dispatch. We confirm the scientific scope and provide suitable sample-submission guidance for the agreed work, so that material arrives in the appropriate condition. Ask whether the proposed organism or material is suitable, which extraction or existing quality information should be reviewed, and what container, quantity, storage and transport instructions apply to your project. Do not infer these from another sequencing workflow; wait for confirmation before preparing or dispatching material.
Is whole genome sequencing a clinical diagnostic service?+
No. Manna Biotech offers this work for research and R&D purposes. It is not presented as a clinical diagnostic or statutory report.
What should I prepare for an Oxford Nanopore WGS scope discussion?+
Describe the genome-level research question, organism or material and approximate sample count, comparison or reference information if available, the sequencing and analysis outputs you want reviewed, your preferred timeline, and unresolved feasibility questions. Explain whether material, extracted DNA or existing sequence data is available and whether quality information already exists. Do not assume that every sample or analysis request fits the same workflow. Sample suitability, methods and deliverables need confirmation before preparation, transfer or a project commitment.
