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

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

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
