"We designed this panel to break the status quo in genomic profiling by offering laboratories a powerful alternative to locked, one-size-fits-all solutions," said Emily M. Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. "With our customizable content, flexible workflow, and compatibility with multiple sequencing platforms, Twist’s Oncology DNA CGP Panel puts scientific control back in the hands of researchers and clinicians, particularly for those who need a more cost-effective solution compared to existing CGP products or a more efficient option than smaller panels."
The Twist Oncology DNA CGP Panel was designed to serve a wide range of research groups including regional clinical labs, academic medical centers, and biopharma partners. The panel composition incorporates clinical research and includes a comprehensive and updated biomarker list covering 562 genes that incorporate all major tumor types. The panel’s coverage spans genomic alterations and genomic signatures and can detect base substitutions, insertions and deletions (indels), copy number variations (CNVs), gene rearrangements as well as measure tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI). This is paired with Twist high quality and easy-to-use library preparation and target enrichment workflows. Twist is collaborating with several analytics companies to provide a complete solution from sequencing to analysis.
