We are sending a genomic DNA sample to Otogenetics for human exome sequencing. They will make the library, sequence and do some bioinformatics at a very reasonable intro price. They are also giving us a great price for RNAseq. Does anyone have any experience with them? Good or bad comments are welcome.

Hi JHU-ChIPmaniac,
Did you end up using Otogenetics for the exome sequencing? What was your experience? -
They are very unprofessional. Irresponsive to emails. Sends you back data with no explanation of which samples are which. I got an excel spreadsheet and a bunch of bioanalyzer traces and the samples don't even correlate. Do no go with Otogenetics.Comment

I am also interested in hearing about Otogenetics.
How long does it take to deliver the data back? How was the overall quality and maping?
Are their any alignment options?Comment

I just wanted to address this post, as I was recently hired by Otogenetics as their Marketing Manager. There has been a significant number of changes here in the past few months, including a new CEO, and we are striving to provide absolute quality services and a pleasant customer experience (one of my key goals).
Please feel free to contact me directly and I would be more than happy to work with you to regain your trust in our company.
Thank you,
Richard Grandy

With all of the academic core facilities and expertise available why would anyone waste time with an outside company like Otogenetics?Comment

We tried using Otogenics a while back and it was a terrible experience. Sent some RNA-Seq samples in and received the complete wrong data back. Never again!Comment

I recently received chip-seq data from otogenics with no information given about the adaptors used for sequencing is there a way I can get this informatioin?
Thanks

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).
Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...07-31-2026, 11:01 AM
