Daicel Arbor Biosciences Targeted Sequencing

Targeted sequencing technology can increase the scale of projects and maintain relatively low cost by focusing sequencing efforts on specific regions of interest in samples, facilitating orders of magnitude more efficient NGS. In-solution target capture, also known as target enrichment or sequence capture, utilizes pools of thousands of long custom biotinylated oligonucleotides to selectively enrich for specific regions of interest in an NGS library prior to sequencing. The technological development to manufacture affordable complex oligo pools, such as those provided by Daicel Arbor Biosciences to power our myBaits hybridization capture kits, enables this enrichment technique to be feasible for projects of any scale, ranging from just one to up to tens of thousands of loci captured simultaneously.
