Genomic hot-spots ranging between tens and thousands of kilobases are excellent targets for HybSelect, a new automated microfluidic solution for sequence-specific capture from febit. Integrated HybSelect automation allows walk-away convenience and only requires 30 minutes of hands-on time, offering the simplest targeted sequence capture method available. In this webinar, we will describe the HybSelect workflow and typical results where one thousand 500 bp regions with a centrally located SNP were captured from a reference sample. After NGS, the average depth of coverage for the individual 500 bp regions was 469-fold. 91.2% of the 1000 SNP positions were covered at ?20x, and 99% of those were concordant with the reference sequence as is consistent with baseline Illumina NGS SNP calling accuracy. Importantly, 98.1% of the heterozygous SNP positions were detected and called correctly with no evidence of allelic bias. We will also describe the results with our new catalogue 2 Mb Cancer Exon Biochip, and share our anticipated improvements for HybSelect over the next 12 months, including expanding the capacity to 30 Mb per array, sufficient to capture eight human exome equivalents per Biochip at high depth of coverage.
