RNA

RNA custom target enrichment panels are designed to capture and enrich libraries that have been converted to cDNA for next-generation sequencing (NGS). Twist’s team of bioinformatic scientists utilize novel RNA design strategies, such as exon-aware placement, to provide you with more of the transcription insights you need from your experiments.

Methylation Image

METHYLATION

Methylation target enrichment panels are designed to capture libraries treated to reveal the DNA methylation signature. Twist’s novel design approach achieves exceptional uniformity and retains the methylation pattern by printing four different probe species for each target: fully methylated and fully unmethylated sense and antisense probes.

What Scientists Have to Say

Twist’s Custom Panels has enabled us to achieve the enrichment level and precision that we need. When we started with NGS for methylation detection, the maximum we could target was 30 regions, but now with our Custom Panel from Twist, we can capture thousands with better coverage.”

Head of Research at Universal DX

Twist’s Custom Panels allowed us to focus on important, medically relevant genes instead of forcing us to work with a whole genome. The panel was concise, with a simple protocol and cost was reasonable with very good candidate variants already curated by the literature.”

Chayan Roy

Bioinformatic Application Scientist

After earning his Ph.D. from Bose Institute, India, Chanyan conducted research at the University of Copenhagen, Western University of Health Sciences, and SDSU. Chanyan is motivated by helping customers with uniquely designed panels which empower researchers and clinicians to pinpoint disease-causing variants in the genomic haystack. Chanyan loves exploring new places and cuisines, and he’s a huge science fiction fan—though he prefers Asimov and Clarke over DC and Marvel.

Owen Hardy

Senior Bioinformatics Application Scientist

Owen studied Biological Sciences at Cornell University when Sanger sequencing gels were a thing, and joined the Biotech community out of graduate school as Next Generation Sequencing began. Target enrichment has been the heart and soul of his job for the last 15 years. At Twist, he’s motivated by working with customers everyday who are at the forefront of diverse and novel applications, and proud to be a part of their projects from the initial design stages to sequencing success. In his spare time Owen can be found in his garden and enjoys all things space and astronomy.
