Twist Oligo Pools are highly diverse collections of single-stranded oligonucleotides synthesized using our silicon-based DNA writing technology. Our synthesis platform enables massively parallel production of hundreds of thousands of high-quality, accurate oligos per run.

Twist Bioscience, the leader in synthetic DNA with unparalleled precision at scale, is redefining targeted sequencing performance with the Twist Human Core Exome Kit. This kit includes library preparation and enrichment components, allowing the flexibility to lower sequencing costs, increase sample throughput, and achieve a higher depth of coverage across target regions with uncompromising quality.

Positive controls provide quality control measures for the verification and validation for point-of-care diagnostic tests including both next-generation sequencing (NGS) and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Twist offers fully synthetic SARS-CoV-2 RNA controls, available for dozens of distinct reference sequences.

The Twist Comprehensive Viral Research Panel covers reference sequences for 3,153 viruses, including 15,488 different strains.

Twist’s Fast Hybridization and Wash Kit is a revolutionary new system with the flexibility to both save you time and improve the performance of your targeted sequencing efforts. It accommodates your samples, your schedule, and your performance needs: accelerate hybridization to as little as 15 minutes, or adjust the hybridization time to improve coverage for all targeted sequencing applications, including whole exome, custom…

Unleash the full power of a well-designed library. With Twist Bioscience, you are assured that the library you design contains the specific modifications, exactly where you want them, saving you valuable resources for the downstream screening process.

A single blocking solution for multiple adapter applications

The Twist Universal Adapter System improves the overall performance of any ‘T-A’ overhang ligation library preparation workflow for next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications.

Twist also offers Research-Use Only (RUO) target enrichment NGS panels for viral detection and characterization of samples. These panels can be used for environmental monitoring and surveillance testing, while also providing insight into full sequence information for monitoring of viral evolution and strain origin.

The mouse is an extremely important model system for studying genetic variation, tumor mutations, and phenotypic outcomes as well as the therapeutic effect of pharmaceutical agents. As genetic variant databases are continuously updated, the Twist Mouse Exome panel is thoughtfully designed and built from the most current databases
