Advanced RNA Sequencing Enrichment Tools Promise a More Comprehensive Transcriptome with Less Sequencing

This was necessary, as a majority of the RNA-Seq reads are from a small number of highly expressed genes that mask genes present in low abundance.

The SeqCap EZ Library is a liquid-based enrichment technology, which enables the targeted capture for subsequent sequencing of the exome or a targeted subset of genes. SeqCap EZ Library is compatible with various sequencing chemistries and with the addition of the Caliper Life Sciences (Hopkinton, MA, USA) Sciclone NGS Workstation, provides a comprehensive high-throughput target enrichment solution.

“This is another step towards our goal of providing a complete solution to basic, translational and clinical researchers,” said Dr. Rebecca Selzer, president of Roche NimbleGen. “The SeqCap RNA products, together with the SeqCap EZ and Epi Systems, offer the genomics community comprehensive target enrichment tools for genomic DNA sequencing, bisulfite sequencing, and transcriptome research.”
