For long-read sequencing, do I need to send you a gel image, TapeStation trace, or Bioanalyzer trace of my DNA?

Yes! If you would like to take full advantage of the capabilities of long-read sequencing, your starting material must be intact high molecular weight DNA. If your sample contains shorter fragments, you’ll sequence shorter-than-desired fragments. We require that you check the morphology and provide us with the image/trace as part of your sample submission.
