FAQ

Can Flex-Seq be used on DNA extracted from insects (e.g. weevil)?

Yes, on the condition that the DNA quality meets minimum requirements and as long as reference genome and SNP information/locations have been identified. All Flex-Seq projects require:

  • a reference sequence (genomic or transcriptomic, or a reference scaffold). These can be provided as a link to a publically available genome, or submitted as a FASTA file.
  • a list of SNP locations to be interrogated, submitted as a VCF, Excel or BED file.

Please contact technical and applications support for further information if you have any queries about your organism.
