New England Biolabs® to Showcase Next Generation Sequencing Sample Preparation Innovations at AGBT™ 2020

IPSWICH, Mass., Feb. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- This year's Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting will feature scientific presentations by NEB scientists and collaborators on discoveries that address challenges across the spectrum of next generation sequencing (NGS) applications.

Of particular note is the growing collection of RNA-seq sample prep reagents, including several advances in RNA depletion options. The NEBNext^® portfolio of products includes kits for efficient and selective depletion of abundant rRNAs from human, mouse, rat and bacterial samples, as well as the removal of globin mRNAs and rRNAs from blood samples. For other sample types, a web-based design tool for customizable RNA depletion will be described.

This year's meeting will be held from February 23 – 26, in Marco Island, Florida, and NEB's base will be the Osprey 4 suite.

Presentations:

A number of posters will be presented during the conference (see below) and also displayed in Osprey 4. There will be several opportunities to meet with our Development Scientists and learn about NEB's latest technology advances, including:

RNA depletion
NEBNext RNA depletion products offer specific and efficient depletion of abundant RNAs, from your most challenging samples. Visit our suite to discuss our upcoming custom solution.

EM-seq
NEBNext Enzymatic Methyl-seq (EM-seq) products provide an enzymatic alternative to bisulfite sequencing, and enables detection of more CpGs with fewer sequence reads. Stop by our posters to learn how it can change methylome analysis with challenging samples, including low input, cfDNA and FFPE.

Indexes
