In evolution and ecology research, samples are often degraded, limited, or poorly represented by existing reference genomes, making them difficult to sequence.

Daicel Arbor Biosciences myBaits® hybridization capture kits enable targeted sequencing from challenging starting materials.

Extract meaningful genomic data and gain the resolution to reconstruct phylogenies, map biodiversity, reveal adaptation, and trace evolutionary change across time and taxa.

Obtain high-resolution data from your samples at any scale

Daicel Arbor Biosciences’ myBaits kits use RNA baits to selectively bind and enrich targeted DNA regions from your sequencing libraries, concentrating your reads on the loci your study requires.

By combining hybridization-based target capture with next-generation sequencing, the platform tolerates sequence mismatches and increases recovery across diverse or degraded samples, giving you deeper, more complete coverage of your targets.

Recovers short, damaged fragments:
Sequence molecules under 50 bp

Tolerates high sequence divergence:
Enrich targets across distant references

Scales to your study design:
Target a single locus or tens of thousands of markers

Multiple kit sizes available:
Order at the scale your project needs

Dedicated scientist support:
Expert end-to-end guidance

Explore myBaits Kits

myBaits kits are optimized for low-input, high-divergence, and fragment-rich conditions, making them an indispensable tool in evolution and ecology research. Run hybridization capture in-house with configurations available for ultraconserved elements (UCEs), mitogenome sequencing, angiosperms, Compositae, and community panels focused on plants, animals, and fungi.

Targeted capture tailored for your research

The sample conditions that define your research area should shape the tools and protocols you use, not the other way around. See how the myBaits platform fits your specific area of research.

Ancient DNA and museomics

Recover sequenceable data from low-quantity DNA using capture protocols tested for historic, ancient, and museum specimens.

Conservation genetics and population genomics

Achieve consistent capture across hundreds to thousands of loci from non-invasive, field-collected, or archival tissue samples to support population-scale study designs.

Phylogenomics and UCE sequencing

Resolve deep evolutionary relationships across highly divergent taxa with capture that tolerates substantial sequence mismatch, including ultraconserved element recovery.

Molecular ecology and evolutionary genomics

Work with non-model organisms even when reference genomes are limited or incomplete, using capture designs built from fragmented assemblies, transcriptomes, or related species references.
