Ricardo Franco-Duarte

Hi Alba.

I had experience with Novogene, both for whole-genome and metagenomics.

The sequencing is very good, and I had no problems at all in terms of quality.

I don´t recommend to subscribe for their bioinformatic analysis, since the analyses performed are pretty basic and can be done easily by the researcher, and many times you need more complex analysis that are not included in the price.

Let me know if you need more information.

Hi,

Same as Dr Ricardo Franco-Duarte said; I have same positive experinece with Novagene too. I sent my PhD student's sample to this company and the results were OK without any problem.
