Hi.We want to sequence 50 kb contiguous DNA fragment in about 200 samples. The idea was to prepare library using amplicons e.g. TruSeq Custom Amplicon Sample Prep Kit, but it turned out that maximum fragment size for Design Studio is 24kb and what is more a gap equivalent to an amplicon size is required between target regions. Do you think pooling products from two separate designs (deisgned to overlap) is a good idea or anyone can recommend another approach (maybe Nextera Xt- but there still is a question if amplicons could be designed to make a contiguous sequence?). I woluld be grateful for any advice how to deal with such a situation.

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...
