NEW YORK – Circulomics said this week that it has won a total of $2 million from two separate National Institutes of Health grants this year to support the development of DNA sample preparation products for long-read sequencing.
A $1.6 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Human Genome Research Institute will allow the company to improve its Short Read Eliminator kits, which deplete short DNA fragments from high molecular weight DNA. These improvements will drive new applications and control sequencing read length distribution.
