TAPS+ on DNBSEQ: New Cost-Effective Approach to Whole Genome Methyl-seq 

The South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC) has expanded its epigenomics capabilities with the introduction of Watchmaker Genomics TAPS+ whole-genome methylation sequencing, now available on our MGI DNBSEQ-G400 and DNBSEQ-T7 platforms.

Combining the positive-readout chemistry of TAPS+ with MGI's DNBSEQ sequencing provides researchers with a high-quality and scalable approach to genome-wide DNA methylation analysis — at approximately 30% lower cost than comparable 5-base whole-genome methylation sequencing approaches.

For researchers considering larger cohorts, this combination of data quality and competitive pricing can make it practical to study DNA methylation across substantially more samples without proportionally increasing sequencing budgets.
