Difficult Template sequencing (SS1006)
This service caters specifically to templates with sequence context difficulties. Sequence context difficulties include high G%, high C%, high GC%, repeat regions and loop structures found in shRNA vectors. 1st BASE adopts a robust protocol that maximizes the success rate of sequencing through these regions. However, the success rates of GT and GC repeats have shown to be limited by this chemistry. Currently, there is no guaranteed to overcome such homopolymeric regions. Please refer our troubleshooting guide for more details.
Specifications
As compared to our regular sequencing services, a greater volume for each sample is to be submitted (in case a repeat run is required).Sample Preparation Requirements for Local Customers (Singapore and Malaysia) are as follows:

Sample Preparation Requirements for International Customers.
We recommend that international customers send a larger volume of their samples to overcome loss of samples due to evaporation during the extended transportation to our facilities.
