Data-driven Insights
Optimizing Custom Panels
for Precision Research
At Twist, we empower researchers with high-quality data and expert-driven optimization to refine custom panels for enhanced performance and reproducibility.

Custom Panel Optimization
Our iterative design and testing approach improves coverage (dark green) and reduces off target rates (light green) to achieve maximum sensitivity and specificity. By leveraging high-quality genomic material and standardized Twist procedures, we provide consistent, reproducible results that drive confident decision-making.

Advanced Methylation Analysis
Using the Twist Alliance Pan-Cancer Methylation Panel, researchers can distinguish malignant vs. benign breast samples through high-resolution methylation profiling. The clustered heat map (right) highlights differential methylation patterns around transcription start sites (TSS), offering valuable insights for further investigations.
Twist’s expert-driven workflows help accelerate research with gold-standard library preparation and target enrichment solutions, ensuring precision, reliability, and efficiency at every stage.
