Exploring the possibility of using this kit for our hyb-capture library prep front-end process. Does anyone know the specific enzymes that make up the cocktails? As well, is the enzymatic fragmentation random or does it target specific sequences? Is it known what the fragmentation enzymes are? Thanks

My Qiagen rep was just here talking about this. He claimed that it isn't sequence specific cleaving at all but beyond that I couldn't get much info out of him. Showed some data comparing sequencing sites to covaris sheared DNA. They didn't have any company data on what I'd call high gc genomes so he's going send me a kit to try on some 75% GC streptococcusMicrobial ecologist, running a sequencing core. I have lots of strong opinions on how to survey communities, pretty sure some are even correct.

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...
