Genetic and epigenetic study of formalin-damaged DNA with duet multiomics solution evoC 6-base sequencing
14 Mar 2025Explore the impact of formalin fixation on DNA methylation profiles using the innovative 6-base sequencing technology, duet multiomics solution evoC. By analyzing formalin-compromised, FFPE, and fresh-frozen cancer samples, the research demonstrates that despite minor predictable changes, the method provides reliable genetic and epigenetic insights, preserving the biological integrity of stored samples.

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. Find the best next-generation sequencing products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.FFPEFormalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are commonly used in medical research, particularly in histology and cancer studies. The preservation process allows long-term storage of tissue samples for later analysis. Explore FFPE research products in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.EpigeneticsEpigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression. These changes are not caused by alterations to the DNA sequence. Three of the main systems responsible for the initiation of epigenetic change are DNA methylation, histone modification and non-coding RNA-associated gene silencing.Library PreparationLibrary preparation is a critical step in sequencing workflows, where DNA or RNA samples are converted into libraries for high-throughput, next generation sequencing. This step ensures accurate results and minimizes biases.
