General description
WGA Kit utilizes a proprietary technology based on random fragmentation of genomic DNA and conversion of the resulting small fragments to PCR-amplifiable library molecules flanked by universal priming sites. WGA is achieved by PCR amplification of the library molecules using universal oligonucleotide primers.
GenomePlex method allows the researcher to generate a representative, ~500-fold amplification of genomic DNA. The amplification yield is dependent on the purity and amount of starting material. This kit contains all the required reagents to perform library preparation and fragmentation.
Application
Features and Benefits
- Higher yield from minimal template: Amplification of nanogram amounts (10ng) of genomic DNA to microgram yields (5-10 μg) in less than about three hours
- Nanograms of samples can be preserved at –20 °C for future use
- Choose from a variety of DNA sources: whole blood, buccal swab, blood card, plant, soil, and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE)
- Compatible with a wide variety of downstream applications such as TaqMan® and BeadArray assays
- Universal primers
- Whole-genome representation with no detectable bias
- Increased accuracy in amplification produces no amplicon in the negative control reactions

The ultimate biological unit lies within a single cell. Many biological disciplines have taken aim to elucidate the causes of cellular differentiation at this level.
Epigenetic modifications are thought to occur through two key interconnected processes—DNA methylation and the covalent modification of histones.
Protocols
GenomePlex is a Whole Genome Amplification (WGA) method that allows the researcher to generate a representative, 500-fold amplification of genomic DNA
Whole Genome Amplification can be performed on DNA extracted in many ways. We offer many products for DNA extraction, including the GenElute™ Blood Genomic DNA Kit, GenElute Mammalian Genomic DNA Miniprep Kit and the GenElute Plant Genomic DNA M iniprep.
GenomePlex® Whole Genome Amplification is the method of extracting DNA from the animal sample. GenomePlex® products have been used to amplify genomic DNA from chicken, porcine, bovine, fish, and shrimp source.
Blood cards provide the convenience of archiving small volumes of blood. However, many times genomic DNA from these samples is limited, This protocol provides a simple and convenient method to extract genomic DNA from a blood card. Once the DNA has been extracted, it can then be amplified using the amplification protocol
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
