Nucleome offers highly precise, inclusive human whole-genome sequencing services, giving researchers, Physicians and patients the clearest picture of the genome using the advanced genome sequencers available at Nucleome’s human genomics lab called DrSeq Labs . For whole genome sequencing, we extract DNA from blood or tissue and then determine the identity of the 3 billion nucleotides that compose the human genome. Today, most genetic testing focuses on one or a few genes, rather than the entire genome. However, with the availability of human genome sequencing service in India at Nucleome Informatics, now more individuals are pursuing this option. Physicians can look at an entire genome to see how specific treatments for a disease will be affected by an individual’s unique genome. For example, the physician may opt to look at genes involved in drug metabolism when deciding dosage. In the future, whole genome sequencing may enable everyone to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Advantages of Whole Genome Sequencing

• Creating personalized plans to treat disease may be possible based not only on the mutant genes causing a disease, but also other genes in the patient’s genome.
• Genotyping cancer cells and understanding what genes are misregulated allows physicians to select the best chemotherapy and potentially expose the patient to less toxic treatment since the therapy is tailored.
• Previously unknown genes may be identified as contributing to a disease state. Traditional genetic testing looks only at the common “troublemaker” genes.
• Lifestyle or environmental changes that can mediate the effects of genetic predisposition may be identified and then moderated.
