We do the work
Services
Send us samples or data and we run the analysis: NGS and bioinformatics, clinical and diagnostic testing, and R&D consulting. You get a report, the underlying files, and a named analyst to ask.

WE READ ALL 23 PAIRS
Sequencing produces data. We turn that data into a result a research team or a clinician can act on — analysed, interpreted and reported by people who will explain how they got there.
What we offer
Services and software
Two ways of working with us, depending on whether you want the analysis done for you or want to run it yourself.
You run the tools
Software
23rdExon, CAN and MetaXplore — analysis tools we built and use ourselves, licensed for your own team to run on your own data.
How we think about it
A result you cannot check is not a result.
Every analysis we deliver comes with the pipeline version, the reference build, the quality metrics and the filtering logic that produced it. If a reviewer, a regulator or a sceptical colleague asks how a variant call was made, the answer is in the report, not in someone's memory.
- Pipeline version and reference build recorded on every run
- Quality metrics reported before conclusions, not after
- Raw and intermediate files handed over, not withheld
- A named analyst you can email with a question
How a project runs
Five stages, in this order
The numbering here is real: each stage depends on the one before it, and we will tell you if a sample or a dataset fails at any of them.
Scope the question
What are you trying to find out, what will you do with the answer, and is sequencing the right way to get it? Sometimes it isn't, and we say so.
Sample or data intake
Samples or existing FASTQ/BAM files arrive, get logged against your project, and are checked for the things that quietly ruin an analysis later.
Quality control
Coverage, duplication, contamination, sex checks, batch effects. You see the QC before we go further, so a weak dataset never becomes a confident claim.
Analysis and interpretation
Alignment, calling and annotation against the pipeline agreed at scoping, then human interpretation against the current literature and databases.
Report and handover
A written report, the underlying files, and a call to walk through both. Follow-up questions after delivery are part of the job, not an extra.
Tell us what you are trying to find out.
Send the question rather than the specification. If we are not the right lab for it, we would rather say that early and point you somewhere better.
