Non-Model Organism Sequencing
& Viral Genome Services

Enabling Research of Unusual Organisms

Non-model organisms sequencing apport to biodiversity research with unique insights on an ongoing basis. SeqMatic offers an array of advanced non-model organisms and viral genome NGS services, specifically tailored to support research on species that are not considered as “model organisms” for analysis. Non-model organisms hold great potential for evolutionary studies. Unlike model organisms, these less studied lifeforms are not conventionally used in research to investigate specific biological questions or domains. The integration of NGS technologies with innovative gene targeting approaches has expanded the scope of model organism research, encompassing less explored and unusual pathways. At SeqMatic, we actively harness state-of-the-art NGS methodologies to facilitate groundbreaking research in this essential domain. Viral genome analysis plays a crucial role in deciphering the mutations and evolutionary patterns of viruses over time. Equipped with efficient genomes designed to infect cells, adapt, multiply, and survive, viruses represent a unique challenge for researchers. SeqMatic provides comprehensive solutions for probing the intricacies of viral genomes, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of their organization, relationships, and essential properties.

Applications of DNA Sequencing for Non-model Organisms and Viral Genomes:

population genetics research
