Primer extension target enrichment for next-generation sequencing

Written by Roche
PCR and sequencing Whole-genome studies

Introducing our In Focus on target enrichment for next-generation sequencing (NGS), this video describes the importance of NGS in life science research, reviews available techniques for enriching genomic regions of interest, and describes how a new enrichment technology — primer extension target enrichment — solves some of the biggest challenges of previously available methods.

This video was supported by Roche as part of our In Focus: Introducing NGS primer extension target enrichment. Check out the In Focus for more information.
