Innovative Hi-C-like Technique Shows Enhanced Sensitivity for Detecting Structural Variants and Chromatin Topology Features in Cancer
BOSTON, April 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dovetail Genomics today announces the debut of its LinkPrep™ NGS technology, showcasing its potential for de novo detection of structural variants and chromatin topology features in cancer. Through its innovative chromatin conformation approach, LinkPrep™ technology exhibits enhanced sensitivity in detecting translocations and intra-chromosomal rearrangements compared to conventional methods, while also identifying SNVs/InDels within a single assay. Unlike traditional Hi-C methods, LinkPrep technology offers a streamlined process, generating sequenceable libraries from initial samples in a single shift. These findings are being presented at the AACR Annual Meeting, April 5-10, in San Diego, Calif.
