We are developing a workflow for using the Ampliseq Cancer Panel starting with DNA from single cells. We plan to use WGA but wonder if someone could recommend a kit. Genomiphi for example requires 10 ngs. A single cell will have about 6 pgs. Any advice?

The following paper has a method to purify the Phi29 polymerase away from DNA contamination, which can be a problem when amplifying low concentrations of DNA. I am not sure if there is a commercial product yet.

Qiagen has just introduced a product that is a single cell WGA.
Don't have any experience with it but might be a good starting point.Comment

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
