FAST-WES plus+
Twist Exome 2.0 whole exome sequencing with full QC, data in 7–10 business days after samples pass QC. Year-end promotion from $129 per sample.
How Is FAST-WES plus+ Different?
FAST-WES plus+ is a fast-turnaround human whole exome sequencing service using Twist Exome 2.0, with flexible data output options of 3, 6, 9 or 12 Gb per sample. Every order includes sample, library, and data QC, with results released as each sample passes QC.
Every step is the same as Standard WES: sample QC, library preparation, sequencing and data QC. It is faster because we standardized the workflow and run it in high volume with automation.

Specifications |
|
|
Species |
Human |
|
Sample Type |
Genomic DNA (gDNA) preferred; also accepted: blood, saliva, swab, cell pellet, tissue or FFPE* |
|
DNA Input |
1 µg standard; 200 ng low input |
|
Packaging |
Tubes in a sample box, arranged in order-sheet order. No bags. |
*A DNA extraction fee is charged for non-gDNA sample types, and extraction adds about 2 business days.
Estimated depth values are references, not guarantees. Raw data output in Gb is the specification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get in touch with your sales representative at inquiry@psomagen.com or visit our order site to request a consultation and start the process.
Before your samples are shipped, you will need to complete the next-generation sequencing (NGS) order form and return it to your sales contact.
Purified genomic DNA (gDNA) is the preferred sample type for FAST-WES plus+.
Blood, saliva, swabs, cell pellets, tissue, and FFPE samples are also accepted.*
*An additional DNA extraction fee applies to these sample types, and extraction adds approximately 2 business days to the turnaround time.
FAST-WES plus+ is designed for human samples only. For other species, please contact your sales representative or inquiry@psomagen.com to explore our other whole exome sequencing options.
If your sample does not pass QC, we will send you the QC report and discuss next steps with you. Please confirm how you would like to proceed within 1 month.
Replacement samples submitted within 2 months will be processed at the original price, with one complimentary QC check. Replacement samples are processed as separate orders, and turnaround time begins once they pass QC.
By default, results are released as samples pass QC, so passing samples reach you as soon as they are ready. If you need all samples delivered together (for example a trio or tumor-normal pair), ask for single-batch delivery, which follows the timeline of the last sample.
Twist Exome 2.0 is the default. Choose Twist Core if you need continuity with earlier Core data. Core is offered with RefSeq and mitochondrial (MT) content, +$5 per sample on top of the Twist Exome 2.0 price.
We deliver the raw data output you order, in Gb. The estimated mean target depth (for example ~80X at 6 Gb) is a reference value; actual depth varies with sample quality and capture performance.
Choose your data output based on the estimated sequencing depth:
- 3 Gb → ~40× coverage
- 6 Gb → ~80× coverage
- 9 Gb → ~120× coverage
- 12 Gb → ~160× coverage
If your analysis requires a specific minimum coverage depth, please contact your sales representative to determine the most suitable option.
Yes. Every order includes raw data (FASTQ) and a sequencing QC report.
The download link is active for 2 weeks, and data is deleted 30 days after delivery. Please download your files promptly and check that they are complete.
Yes. Basic bioinformatics analysis using the BWA-GATK pipeline is available for $10 per sample. Adding analysis may affect turnaround time, which your sales representative will confirm in your quote. Custom analysis is quoted separately.
Use the reference depth as a guide: 3 Gb for ~40X, 6 Gb for ~80X, 9 Gb for ~120X and 12 Gb for ~160X. If you need a specific minimum depth for your analysis, tell your sales representative and we will suggest a tier.
Yes. Start from the nearest lower tier and add $5 per additional Gb.
No. FAST-WES plus+ is intended for research use only. For clinical testing, please contact your sales representative or inquiry@psomagen.com to learn more about our CLIA exome sequencing service.
FAST-WES plus+ is an exome service ordered by quote, with sample, library and data QC included on every order. FAST-Seq is a separate portal service. The FAST-WES plus+ price and terms apply only to FAST-WES plus+ orders.
