What is short-read sequencing?

Short-read sequencing is a widely adopted high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing method that generates large volumes of highly accurate data using short sequence reads, typically 75 to 300 base pairs in length. This technology is optimal for variant calling, gene expression profiling, microbial identification, and high-throughput screening of genetic elements.

Frequently asked questions about next-generation sequencing

Short-read sequencing is a high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing method that generates highly accurate reads typically between 75 and 300 base pairs in length. It is widely used for variant detection, gene expression profiling, microbial identification, epigenetic studies, and targeted sequencing. Its scalability and accuracy make it a cornerstone technology in genomics research and clinical studies.
OHMX.bio has several short- and long-read instruments in-house, adapted for small- and high-throughput projects, including Illumina based instruments, Element Biosciences instruments and Oxford Nanopore. This flexible instrument access allows scalability depending on project size and complexity.
OHMX.bio provides a comprehensive suite of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) applications, including Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), and high-resolution Transcriptomics. Our platform specializes in bridging the gap between DNA and protein through advanced Translatomics (Ribosome Profiling) and Single-Cell RNA sequencing, ensuring deep insights into cellular heterogeneity. We utilize a hybrid technology approach, leveraging both short-read (Illumina/Element) and long-read (Oxford Nanopore) platforms to support diverse research needs from epigenetics to microbiome profiling. This multi-omic capability is backed by expert bioinformatics pipelines designed to transform raw sequencing data into actionable biological discoveries.
Short-read sequencing provides high base accuracy, high throughput, and cost-effectiveness for large sample sets. Well-established protocols and validated bioinformatics pipelines ensure robust and reproducible data. This makes the technology suitable for both discovery research and validation studies.
