In this webinar, Andre Franke and Tim Steiert describe a scalable targeted enrichment protocol for fragment sizes of >7 kb. For demonstration purposes, they utilized a custom blood group panel of challenging loci. The test results demonstrate a highly multiplexed enrichment pool of 16 samples with this new protocol. Platform-agnostic solutions for NGS.
