Mayo Clinic Assesses Target-Capture Options as Step Toward Sequencing-Based Molecular Diagnostics

The Mayo team is evaluating different capture and sequencing techniques for use in molecular diagnostics. In a recent study the researchers tested NimbleGen's capture array with both the Roche 454 GS FLX and Illumina GA. Next up will be Agilent's in-solution capture technique, RainDance's microdroplet PCR technology, and standard PCR enrichment.
