Summary

Even as sequencing costs decline, high-depth sequencing of the 7-17 Gbp wheat genome remains cost-prohibitive.  With the myBaits Expert Wheat Exome Panel, Daicel Arbor Biosciences provides the wheat research and breeding community a simple tool that reduces focused sequencing of the wheat high-confidence exome by more than an order of magnitude compared to whole genome sequencing. Based on the IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 reference genome, with a total target space of >200Mb, this is the most up-to-date panel currently available on the market for complete wheat exome sequencing.

In this webinar, Dr. Jacob Enk (R&D Manager for NGS at Daicel Arbor Biosciences) will present the latest performance developments of the Wheat Exome Panel, including its utility for hexaploid, tetraploid, and diploid cultivars of wheat, as well as upcoming complementary tools for targeted sequencing of exome-wide promoters and new exons as they are continually updated in RefSeq.

The myBaits Expert Wheat Exome Panel is available for immediate shipment from Daicel Arbor Biosciences, and can also be purchased as part of full-service NGS packages for library preparation, enrichment, sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. IWGSC members receive special discounted rates on all Wheat Exome kits and services.

Ann Arbor, MI

Daicel Arbor Biosciences, a division of Chiral Technologies, Inc. and leader in developing molecular biology research tools, today announced the release of a myBaits Expert hybridization-based panel for the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV). The next-generation sequencing panel is for research use only, and will be offered free of charge to global researchers working to help identify the source organism and evolution of the virus.

Leveraging their expertise in designing and manufacturing high performance NGS enrichment panels for pathogens, Daicel Arbor Biosciences produced the new 2019-nCoV panel in just one week following a request from the research community. To aid in urgent research on this global threat, Arbor will provide complete 2019-nCoV hybridization capture kits free of charge to researchers worldwide who are studying the epidemiological and phylogenetic properties of this novel virus.

“After receiving the initial request for a 2019-nCoV panel, the urgency of the situation made it clear that we should make comprehensive study kits available as quickly as possible to all members of the virology research community”, stated Alison Devault, Director of Genomics at Daicel Arbor Biosciences. “As agencies work to contain the spread of the virus, the Arbor team is honored to provide any resources that we can to aid researchers in studying the evolution of this new pathogen. Our thoughts continue to be with all the healthcare workers, researchers, and victims of the tragic COVID-19 outbreak.”

The myBaits Expert 2019-nCoV panel is based on all full and partial genome sequences available in the NCBI database as of January 31, 2020. Arbor is actively accepting requests for the panel, which is available for immediate shipment, on their website and through email.
