Is the Twist TrueAmp Polymerase compatible for long-read sequencing?

We have demonstrated long-read sequencing performance comparable to current market leading polymerases and can be used as a drop-in replacement, but we are now pivoting our development to specialize exclusively in high-fidelity long-read solutions.

How does an aptamer-based "hot start" compare to chemical or antibody methods for PCR enzyme inactivation?

A hotstart aptamer works by forming a secondary structure at low temperatures (like RT or during setup on the benchtop). This secondary structure binds to the polymerase enzyme and inactivates the enzymatic activity. At higher temperatures (like during PCR thermalcycling) the aptamer’s secondary structure becomes denatured and releases hold of the enzyme.  

As part of our QC process we integrate a 10 hour incubation hold at 37 degree C to ensure low temperature setup does not affect performance.

How much lower is the error rate compared to standard high-fidelity polymerases?

The Twist TrueAmp Polymerase Mix is compatible with a broad range of sample types and is designed to work with a variety of genomic inputs common in NGS research namely purified genomic DNA (gDNA), cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin- Embedded (FFPE) DNA.

How is the Twist TrueAmp Polymerase designed for yield?

The new Twist TrueAmp Polymerase mix is engineered and optimized for high yield and robust performance which allows it to efficiently amplify both low-input DNA down to 100 fg and standard inputs, providing a single, reliable solution across diverse sample types.
