For Convenient Targeted Re-Sequencing

The National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) studies childhood diseases using febits HybSelect technology for sequence capture. It enables targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS), furthers development of genetic tests. In this collaboration the NCGR will bring its experience in comprehensive Illumina sequencing studies to the automated, fast and affordable technology for targeted re-sequencing to develop and conduct highly parallel analysis. This will enhance the multiplexing capability of the sequencing device to perform surveys in large-cohort studies. The new automated technology for targeted, hybridization-based DNA enrichment supports deep sequencing studies resulting in high coverage results. The Geniom RT Analyzer provides the easy-to-use and highly automated capturing of the desired DNA fragments for further NGS.
