Capabilities

Whole Genome Sequencing

Comprehensive sequencing of plant and microbial genomes. Bespoke genome sequencing available for specialised needs.

16S & ITS Speciation Sequencing

Microbial and fungal identification using 16S rRNA and ITS marker sequencing. Accurate speciation across complex samples.

Amplicon Sequencing

Targeted sequencing for high-throughput variant detection, community analysis, and applied research.

Marker Assisted Breeding

Genomic tools for accelerating plant breeding using molecular markers. Reduces breeding cycles significantly.

Custom Assay Development

Tailored testing solutions for specific pathogens and crop needs. Assay design, validation, and ongoing optimisation.

Independent R&D

Contract R&D support for discovery, method development, and applied genomics programmes, from experimental design through to interpretable results.

Where the work lives

Nexus Biotech is a South African biotech company delivering end-to-end genomic and molecular breeding services. Our diagnostics arm, Nexus Diagnostics, runs multiplexed qPCR plant pathogen testing for cannabis and hemp, grapevine, pome fruit, and stone fruit producers, and gave us our lab discipline. The same high throughput lab and expert team that powers diagnostics now drive our genomics services.

Cross-sector

We offer cross-sector genomics services.
