GenArraytion's Sniper Sequencing provides a rapid, targeted, cost effective alternative to conventional molecular methods for microorganism identification.
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) typically focuses on one small, unique region and Shotgun Sequencing "reads" discriminating and non-discriminating regions alike through a process of fragmenting and reassembly. The Sniper Sequencing method targets unique and functional regions of microbial genomes in a single reaction, focusing costs and effort on those genomic regions that discriminate and characterize a target organism.
