Technology
Recover genealogically-informative SNPs from challenging forensic samples
Targeted sequencing with myBaits hybridization capture is a proven and validated method for sequencing forensic DNA. With myBaits, you can retrieve high density SNP data or whole genome coverage, even from highly-degraded and low-abundance DNA sources heavily contaminated with non-human DNA. Whether targeting the mitogenome or thousands of SNPs for kinship investigation and ID validation, or a million+ SNPs for high-resolution FIGG, myBaits is the field standard for a range of forensic NGS/MPS workflows. Hybridization capture for forensics provides:
- Increased resolution of informative sites with less sequencing compared to whole sample sequencing
- Effective on degraded and low-abundance DNA
- Integrates with standard NGS workflows

What is hybridization capture?
Hybridization capture is integrated into the overall next generation sequencing workflow immediately before sequencing on an NGS platform, such as Illumina. A fully sequenceable, barcoded/indexed NGS library (or pool of multiple libraries) is denatured, and allowed to anneal to complementary target-specific biotinylated probes/baits. These bait:library complexes are then bound to streptavidin-coated magnetic beads via the biotin on the probes, which are washed to remove non-specifically bound molecules. The remaining “enriched” library molecules are then released from the baits and amplified before sequencing.
Note! You may know the “hybridization capture” technique by another name, such as: Target enrichment, Target capture, Probe capture, SNP capture, Capture sequencing / sequence capture, Hybridization sequencing, or hyb cap
