VANCOUVER, British Columbia (GenomeWeb) – Building on the success of the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) dataset, members of the same research team have established a collection that contains roughly twice as many exomes as the version of ExAC released to the public two years ago, analyzed alongside more than 15,000 whole-genome sequences.

Target Enrichment NGS Panel Outperforms the Gold Standard for Sequence and CNV Analysis

Sponsored by
Roche

Target enrichment has been a major driver behind the clinical adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) over the last decade because it simplifies analysis and provides a cost-effective method of massive parallel resequencing. It has not only replaced Sanger sequencing, but it is actively dispensing the need for parallel copy number variant (CNV) analysis using classic techniques.
