India October 19th 2021 : Clevergene Biocorp, a Bangalore based genomics company with unrivalled discovery genomics and genetic diagnostics capabilities, has increased its testing capacity to over 1 lakh annual tests, with the installation of the latest Illumina NovaSeq 6000 DNA sequencing platform, the most advanced DNA sequencer in the world. This puts Clevergene amid an elite club of organisations around the world that can analyse tens of thousands of human genomes.

The added capacity will open new horizons for highly powered experiments at the depth required to discover rare genetic events. With this addition, Clevergene will be able to explore new horizons to widen its discovery genomics offerings by introducing applications such as single cell gene expression, genome deep sequencing etc, that requires large volumes of DNA sequence data.
