  • Generate results in one day with our automation-friendly workflow

NEBNext Direct Custom Ready Panels demonstrate optimum performance across a wide range of panel sizes.

Key target enrichment metrics demonstrate consistent performance across a range of panel sizes. 100 ng of DNA was tested against panels of 1, 10, 25, 50 and 100 genes, and sequenced using Illumina paired-end 150 bp sequencing. Larger panels included all genes present in smaller panels.

Sensitivity in detection of variants across panel size and DNA input amount

24 HapMap samples were blended to create a range of variant allele frequencies (VAF) down to 2%. 25, 50, 100, 200 and 500 ng of this blended DNA was enriched using NEBNext Direct Custom Ready Panels of 1, 10, 25, 50, and 100 genes. Larger panels were inclusive of the genes in smaller panels. Resulting libraries were sequenced using 2 x 150 bp Illumina sequencing and variants were called using Mutect and Vardict variant calling algorithms.

NEBNext Direct Custom Ready Panels demonstrate retention of target behavior across panel sizes

IGV image of coverage profile for 4 BRAF exons included in panels of 1, 10, 25, 50 and 100 genes, demonstrate consistent target behavior with the addition of gene targets. 100 ng of DNA was used as input for NEBNext enrichment using the 5 panels, including the BRAF gene. Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina 2 x 150 basepair sequencing.
