Twist NGS Respiratory Virus Research Panel
The Twist Respiratory Virus Research Panel enables comprehensive detection and sequencing of 29 common respiratory viruses, allowing researchers to identify pathogens and analyze their genomes.
The Twist Respiratory Virus Research Panel is designed to enrich and sequence respiratory viral pathogens, providing researchers with the ability to detect multiple species in a single assay. This panel targets reference sequences for 29 common human respiratory viruses, facilitating the identification of specific pathogens and the detection of co-infections. By capturing and sequencing viral genomes, the panel aids in distinguishing between overlapping symptoms of various respiratory infections. The design incorporates the CATCH (Compact Aggregation of Targets for Comprehensive Hybridization) algorithm, enhancing its ability to capture diverse viral sequences.
Key features:
- Comprehensive Detection: Targets multiple viruses in a single capture, covering 29 common human respiratory viruses.
- Reliable Co-Infection Identification: Enables determination of multiple pathogens within a sample and allows for panel customization to include additional targets.
- High Sensitivity: Detects viral loads as low as 100 genome copies from various sample types, including nasopharyngeal samples.
Applications:
- Respiratory Pathogen Research: Facilitates the study of respiratory viruses by providing detailed genomic data.
- Epidemiological Studies: Assists in tracking the spread and evolution of respiratory viruses within populations.
- Co-Infection Analysis: Enables the identification and study of co-infections involving multiple respiratory pathogens.
