Analysis tailored to your data and scientific question

From analysis planning to result interpretation, UbSeq supports genomics, transcriptomics and microbiology projects with a strategy adapted to the data, scientific context and expected level of reporting.

Constitutional genomics

Constitutional variants

Identify, prioritise and interpret germline variants in relation to phenotype and project context.

  • SNVs & indels
  • CNVs & structural variants where supported
  • Annotation & prioritisation
  • Interpretation & reporting
Somatic genomics

Somatic variants

Characterise acquired genomic alterations in oncology research and other somatic contexts.

  • Tumour–normal or tumour-only depending on the project
  • Somatic SNVs & indels
  • CNVs & structural alterations where supported
  • Annotation & prioritisation
Nutrigenetics

Nutrigenetics & nutritional response

Explore associations between genetic variants, nutritional phenotypes and biological context while retaining the available strength of evidence.

  • Variant annotation
  • Genotype–phenotype associations
  • Population context
  • Evidence-strength review
Transcriptomics

Expression, splicing & biological pathways

Analyse expression changes and transcriptomic events to connect RNA-seq data with biological context.

  • Differential expression
  • Expression outliers
  • Splicing & isoforms
  • Functional enrichment & GSEA
Microbial genomics

Genomic typing & surveillance

Characterise and compare microbial genomes for research, characterisation and surveillance projects.

  • Assembly & annotation
  • Typing, phylogeny & cgMLST
  • Antimicrobial resistance & virulence
  • Pangenome & genomic distances
Microbiome & metagenomics

Targeted & shotgun metagenomics

Characterise the composition, diversity and functional potential of microbial communities from sequencing data.

  • 16S / ITS amplicons
  • Taxonomic profiling
  • Diversity & differential abundance
  • Functions, resistome & MAGs where supported
Adventitious agents

Adventitious Agent NGS Investigation

Search for and investigate unexpected microbial or viral signals by combining taxonomic specificity, coverage, assembly evidence and controls.

  • Taxonomic classification
  • Read coverage & distribution
  • Assembly support
  • Control comparison
Bioinformatics audit

Review, qualify and document bioinformatics analyses

Independent review, pipeline qualification, non-regression testing, change traceability and preparation of bioinformatics evidence for quality or accreditation processes.
