MPD: multiplex primer design for next-generation targeted sequencing

Practice guidelines for Targeted Next Generation Sequencing

DNA sequencing is the most commonly used approach for mutation scanning and is widely regarded as the gold standard. Agreed practice guidelines for both the sequencing process and data analysis are important to achieve a high quality approach, with common quality standards across different laboratories. These guidelines do not constitute an experimental protocol or troubleshooting guide, rather...

Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing for Forensic Genomics

Next-Generation Sequencing: Targeting Targeted Therapies.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has given new perspective in oncology. With the ongoing development of targeted therapies, NGS is evolving molecular diagnostics by providing comprehensive interrogation of clinically actionable genomic aberrations in tumors. Having this assay as the primary testing method produces clinically beneficial results. See related article by Drilon et al., p. 3631.

Targeted multiplex next-generation sequencing: advances in techniques of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequencing for population genomics.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is emerging as an efficient and cost-effective tool in population genomic analyses of nonmodel organisms, allowing simultaneous resequencing of many regions of multi-genomic DNA from multiplexed samples. Here, we detail our synthesis of protocols for targeted resequencing of mitochondrial and nuclear loci by generating indexed genomic libraries for multiplexing ...

Targeted enrichment of genomic DNA regions for next-generation sequencing

In this review, we discuss the latest targeted enrichment methods and aspects of their utilization along with second-generation sequencing for complex genome analysis. In doing so, we provide an overview of issues involved in detecting genetic variation, for which targeted enrichment has become a powerful tool. We explain how targeted enrichment for next-generation sequencing has made great pro...
