Enrichment Sequencing

Enriched Genome, Enriched Insights

Introduction and Workflow

  • Enriched Sequencing is a comprehensive approach to analyze part of genomes base-by-base, providing enriched genomic view.
  • The workflow includes isolating DNA, fragmenting it, capturing the regions of interest followed by sequencing to produce millions of short reads.
  • In the bioinformatics analysis, these reads are aligned to a known reference genome to detect genomic alterations.
  • It is a powerful tool for diverse genomic studies, capable of sequencing humans, livestock, plants, bacteria, and disease-related microbes.

Advantages of Enriched Sequencing

  • Provides a more affordable alternative to Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), making it accessible to a wider range of researchers and clinicians.
  • Enhances detection of single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), copy number variants (CNVs), and insertions/deletions (InDels) with sensitivity and accuracy comparable to WGS, particularly in exonic regions.
  • Produces smaller data sets compared to WGS, allowing for quicker and more straightforward data analysis, which accelerates research and diagnostics.
  • Focuses on exonic regions, which are more likely to harbor disease-causing variants, leading to a more efficient and targeted approach in identifying genetic variants.
