CAMBRIDGE, England, April 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The duet multiomics solution is the world's first single-base-resolution sequencing technology that enables the simultaneous phased reading of genetic and epigenetic information in a single sample, with one workflow, using any sequencer. The hardware-agnostic product provides more epigenetic information from a single low input DNA library without complex, resource intensive bioinformatics or harsh chemical treatment. Recently published in Nature Biotechnology, the solution provides a more complete picture of the information stored in genomes availing new insights from applications throughout biomedicine.

Key Points: 
  • "Our novel solution removes the technical barriers that have previously held back our broader understanding of epigenetics.
  • Now, our customers can accelerate their research with a more comprehensive view of regulatory function across the genome, through the interplay of genetics and epigenetics at read level.
  • The duet multiomics solution empowers applications across numerous fields of disease research, delivering greater biological insights into cancer, neurodegenerative disease, ageing, cell biology and population genetics.
  • Using cell-free DNA via liquid biopsy, duet multiomics can simultaneously detect powerful genetic and methylation biomarkers in an individual's blood to provide unique disease insights.
