The National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) has chosen Febit's DNA-capture method, Hybselect, to re-sequence the exons of genes involved in more than 400 childhood diseases.
The aim of the project is to develop genetic tests to detect carrier status for recessive genetic diseases in prospective parents.
The NCGR will use its experience in comprehensive illumina sequencing studies to enhance the multiplexing capability of Hybselect to perform surveys in large-cohort studies.
Febit's automated Hybselect technology for targeted, hybridisation-based DNA enrichment supports deep sequencing studies, resulting in high coverage results.
The Geniom RT Analyzera provides the easy-to-use and highly automated capturing of the desired DNA fragments for further next-generation sequencing (NGS).
