Automated DNA library preparation for PacBio long-read whole genome sequencing with the DreamPrep NGS compact
10 Sept 2023In this application note, Tecan demonstrates the use of the PacBio SMRTbell® prep kit 3.0 and DreamPrep NGS Compact platform to automate the generation of DNA sequencing libraries. It shows that running automated workflows with minimal user interaction delivers high-quality and consistent libraries, allowing staff to undertake more meaningful work instead of performing long repetitive protocols.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits.
