What is DNA sequencing?

DNA sequencing refers to the general laboratory technique for determining the exact sequence of nucleotides, or bases, in a DNA molecule. The sequence of the bases (often referred to by the first letters of their chemical names: A, T, C, and G) encodes the biological information that cells use to develop and operate. Establishing the sequence of DNA is key to understanding the function of genes and other parts of the genome. There are now several different methods available for DNA sequencing, each with its own characteristics, and the development of additional methods represents an active area of genomics research.

What does DNA sconsist?

DNA consists of a linear string of nucleotides, or bases, for simplicity, referred to by the first letters of their chemical names--A, T, C and G. The process of deducing the order of nucleotides in DNA is called DNA sequencing. Since the DNA sequence confers information that the cell uses to make RNA molecules and proteins, establishing the sequence of DNA is key for understanding how genomes work. The technology for DNA sequencing was made faster and less expensive as a part of the Human Genome Project. And recent developments have profoundly increased the efficiency of DNA sequencing even further. 

DNA sequencing establishes the order of the bases that make up DNA. Next-generation DNA sequencing (abbreviated NGS) refers to the use of technologies for sequencing DNA that became available shortly after the completion of the Human Genome Project (which relied on the first-generation method of Sanger sequencing). Faster and cheaper than their predecessors, NGS technologies can sequence an entire human genome in a single day and for less than 1,000. 

Ascend Plant Genomic DNA Nucleic Acid Extraction Kit uses magnetic beads to adsorb DNA to achieve the purpose of rapid purification of plant genomic DNA. Plant Genomic DNA Nucleic Acid Extraction Kit 50T is suitable for extracting high-purity genomic DNA from 50 mg~200 mg plant samples, suitable for PCR, next-generation sequencing, gene chip and other molecular biology experiments.

The Ascend is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Luoyang Geneture Medical Technology CO.,LTD.

2017, Ascend was established in Luoyang National University Science Park.

2019, Ascend was approved as a national high-tech enterprise and an innovative private enterprise in Henan Province.

And the Geneture could provide one stop solution of Nucleic Acid Extraction and Analysis.
