Desktop Genetics DTG-Seq Service

Desktop Genetics recently launched its DTG-Seq service, which combines targeted amplicon sequencing and internal bioinformatics expertise for validation of on- and off-target genome editing outcomes. To use DTG-Seq, customers send isolated genomic DNA samples to Desktop's sequencing provider, while Desktop handles steps such as primer design and amplicon library preparation. The company's bioinformatics team then analyzes raw FASTQ files and investigates the efficiency and distribution of CRISPR mutations at on- and/or off-target sites. Desktop then summarizes and delivers the analysis in graphical reports along with raw sequencing data files. The company said that it can detect CRISPR editing events at frequencies as low as 0.1 percent.


New England Biolabs NEBNext Ultra II RNA Library Prep Kits

New England Biolabs has launched an expansion of its NEBNext Ultra II NGS library preparation portfolio with the NEBNext Ultra II Directional RNA Library Prep kit and the non-directional NEBNext Ultra II RNA Library Prep kit. Both kits are designed for Illumina's next generation sequencing systems and are compatible with poly(A) mRNA isolation and ribosomal RNA depletion. Libraries can be constructed from a substantially broader input range (5 ng to 1 µg of total RNA) at high yields. They also use workflows that include new reagents, combined steps, and minimized cleanup steps.


Sophia Genetics Whole Exome Solution, Clinical Exome Solution

Sophia Genetics launched the Whole Exome Solution and Clinical Exome Solution for the detection of disease-related genetic variants. The two solutions use AI technology to give clinicians a better understanding of genomic data for more accurate and personalized clinical care, the firm said.
