Swift Biosciences has launched the Accel-NGS XL Library Prep Kit for whole-genome sequencing on Pacific Biosciences instruments. The kit has a four-hour workflow and has been optimized for PacBio's single molecule real-time sequencing technology.
Cofactor Genomics Pinnacle Assay
Cofactor Genomics has launched Pinnacle, an RNA-based oncology assay which provides insight into a patient's cancer profile. The assay reports on both aberrant oncology-relevant gene expression and known cancer gene fusions detected in the tumor sample. It uses the company's software to compare each patient's cancer expression profile to Cofactor's database of thousands of expression profiles from the same cancer type, the company said. Pinnacle is currently approved for use with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue.
Genomenon Mastermind
Genomenon has launched Mastermind, an analytic and data visualization tool that accelerates gene and variant curation. The software mines millions of medical publications and delivers a comprehensive knowledge base of disease-gene-variant relationships curated from primary medical literature, organized into clinical categories, and prioritized by the strength of evidence, the company said. Mastermind has reviewed literature and found associated variants for all the genes from Thermo Fisher Scientific's Ion AmpliSeq comprehensive cancer panel; Illumina's TruSight Tumor 170 solid tumor cancer panel; Thermo Fisher's and Fulgent's hereditary cancer panels; and Thermo Fisher's, Illumina's, and Fulgent's cardiomyopathy panels.
