NEW YORK – Genome technology company JumpCode Genomics emerged from stealth mode this week with a CRISPR-based technology that aims to turn down the background noise in next-generation sequencing libraries.
The technology, called CRISPRclean, works by depleting unwanted nucleic acid sequences from NGS libraries to leave behind only targets of interest. According to JumpCode, it has broad applicability in several fields, including oncology, infectious diseases, and undiagnosed genetic diseases and disorders, and it's agnostic to library prep methods and sequencing platforms.
