Whole Plasmid
Sequencing
Comprehensive nucleotide-level validation of your engineered plasmid, covering the backbone, inserted sequence, and every genetic element.
Whole Plasmid Sequencing confirms your construct matches its intended design in a single reaction, replacing multi-primer Sanger runs with full-coverage, circular consensus sequencing built for cloning, vector validation, and construct development at any scale.
What is Whole Plasmid Sequencing?
A plasmid is a small, circular DNA molecule that scientists use to carry and deliver specific genetic material. It typically contains important components such as the gene of interest (insert), promoter, selection marker, and origin of replication, making it an essential tool in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and biotechnology research.
During cloning, amplification, or storage, plasmids can acquire unexpected mutations, insertions, deletions, or structural changes that may affect experimental results. For this reason, verifying the complete plasmid sequence before using it in downstream research is essential.
Whole Plasmid Sequencing analyzes the entire circular plasmid from end to end in a single workflow. Instead of sequencing only selected regions, it provides a complete, high-accuracy assembled sequence of the entire construct, allowing researchers to confirm that every genetic element is present, correctly arranged, and free from unwanted changes.
- Confirms the entire plasmid, not just primer-targeted stretches.
- Detects unintended mutations, recombination events, and backbone rearrangements.
- Removes the need to design and order multiple sequencing primers.
- Delivers a complete, assembled reference sequence in a single submission.
- Scales efficiently across single constructs or large plasmid libraries.
