General Information
The Applied Genomics Technology Center (AGTC) has a great deal of experience in Whole Genome
Amplification (WGA) techniques which have become a valuable tool for the genomics research community.
With the ability to vastly increase the quantity of genomic DNA, WGA gives investigators the opportunity to
obtain valuable genetic information from even the most limited of sample types. Two of the most prominent
methods available are Multiple Displacement Amplification (MDA), a strand displacement-based
methodology, and OmniPlex™ Technology, a random fragmentation-based methodology. Both have a
variety of commercial kits available for specific sample types and desired DNA yield.
Additional Information
If needed, please contact Tara Reinholz for further information regarding WGA techniques.
