GenArraytion's Sniper Sequencing is a nucleic acid-based, micro-sequencing method that provides a functionally complete characterization of a broad spectrum of microorganisms in hours. By targeting hundreds of unique and functional elements for each target organism, hundreds of thousands of bases of critical sequence information can be determined in a single reaction for tens to hundreds of target organisms.

What is Sniper Sequencing?
Bacillus cereus E33L plasmid pE33L8, 37% Unique
In this figure, the red regions represent unique regions of the Bacillus cereus E33L plasmid that are targeted by Sniper Sequencing. Green regions represent non-unique regions that do not discriminate the target from other organisms.
Sniper Sequencing is :
- Cost effective
- As sensitive as PCR.
- A simple and compact system.
Sniper Sequencing
closely related microbial strains, characterize previously unknown strains, and provide indications of genetic manipulation.
How does Sniper Sequencing work?
...hundreds of thousands of bases of critical sequence information can be determined in a single reaction...
Sniper Sequencing uses DNA sequences that are specific at the genus, species and strain levels for high confidence, multi-level identification. Functional elements of pathogens, such as virulence factors, infectious pathway elements and antibiotic resistance, are combined with organism-specific signatures to provide a detailed fingerprint that can discriminate between
