Long String Genomics
Because SIZE MATTERS
Analyzing long stretches of genetic material means leaping forward into the last frontiers in genomics.
Using such approaches will close existing gaps and unveil blindspots.
With automation solutions from Hamilton for these workflows, we aim to enable the scientific community to work at scale and make new discoveries
Specific Applications
-
Automated Isolation of High Molecular Weight (HMW) DNA from Human Blood Samples with PacBio® Nanobind® Technology on the Hamilton NIMBUS® Presto - Next Level Preparation of Extracts for Long-Read Sequencing
Long-read sequencing technology provides great potential in several clinically relevant areas of human genomics. Recent advancements allowing increased sequencing throughput and accuracy at a more affordable cost have already been made. However, the applied workflows still contain bottlenecks, especially in the extraction process steps that increase variability in HMW DNA (50 kbp -250 kbp) yield and quality, while hindering the processing of higher sample numbers. Overcoming these hurdles by robust high-throughput, automated solutions will support the growing number of large-scale population genomics studies and clinical research applications. -
Automated extraction of High Molecular Weight (HMW) DNA with PacBio® Nanobind® technology on the Hamilton NIMBUS® Presto Assay Ready Workstation
Rapidly emerging long-read sequencing technologies, including PacBio Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT®) sequencing, provide substantial advantages for (de novo) genome assembly, detecting structural variants, and higher accuracy in repetitive or high GC content regions. A key requirement for long-read, third-generation sequencing approaches is the extraction of HMW DNA (50 kb – 250 kb). As the field matures and sample numbers increase, robust, high-throughput sample preparation methods are needed to support large-scale studies in pan-genomics and clinical research applications. -
Whole Genome and Transcriptome Analysis for Leukemia Diagnostics
The rationale behind the automation of the assay is mainly in terms of a quality improvement and enhancement of productivity, provided by minimizing the bias that might be otherwise introduced by manual library preparation. Moreover, the automated system is sufficiently flexible to adapt and therefore easily meet evolving needs
Advantages of Long String Genomics
Shifting BOUNDARIES
Stepping into the most advanced genomic application areas
Novel technologies in genomics have revolutionized many aspects within life science. But the journey is far from over.
The analysis of relatively short nucleic acid molecules has been of fundamental importance in research and clinical usage. However, there are limitations which leave some questions unanswered. Until now.
With the opportunity to look at larger molecules, many limitations of current standard methods can be overcome and can provide a more comprehensive picture of the genome.
