The AmpliSeq for Illumina Exome Panel brings the speed and simplicity of PCR to exome sequencing, enabling researchers to sequence eight exomes in a single run and identify germline variants in less time. Key features include:
The Exome Panel is part of an integrated workflow that includes AmpliSeq for Illumina polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based library preparation, Illumina sequencing by synthesis (SBS) next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, and automated analysis.
This ready-to-use panel saves you the time and effort of identifying targets, designing primers, and optimizing panels.
