This set of tracks shows the genomic positions of probes and targets from a full suite of in-solution-capture target enrichment exome kits for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) applications. Also known as exome sequencing or whole exome sequencing (WES), this technique allows high-throughput parallel sequencing of all exons (e.g. coding region of genes which affect protein function), constituting about 1% of the human genome, or approximately 30 million base pairs.
The tracks are intended to show the major differences in target genomic regions between the different exome capture kits from the major players in the NGS sequencing market: Illumina Inc., Roche NimbleGen Inc., Agilent Technologies Inc., MGI Tech, Twist Bioscience, and Integrated DNA Technologies Inc..
Items are shaded according to manufacturing company:
Tracks labeled as Probes (P) indicate the footprint of the oligonucleotide probes mapped to the human genome. This is the technically relevant targeted region by the assay. However, the sequenced region will be bigger than this since flanking sequences are sequenced as well. Tracks labeled as Target Regions (T) indicate the genomic regions targeted by the assay. This is the biologically relevant target region. It's not granted that all targeted regions will be sequenced perfectly, it might be some capture bias on certain locations. The Target Regions are those normally used for coverage analysis.
The capture of the genomic regions of interest using in-solution capture, is achieved through the hybridization of a set of probes (oligonucleotides) with a sample of fragmented genomic DNA in a solution environment. The probes hybridize selectively to the genomic regions of interest which, after a process of exclusion of the non-selective DNA material, can be pulled down and sequenced enabling selective DNA sequencing of the genomic regions (e.g. exons) of interest. In-solution capture sequencing is a sensitive method to detect single nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, and copy number variations.
