🎉 Announcing the launch of our FlexPrepUltra-High Throughput Library Preparation Kit! Designed with a proprietary Twist-developed enzyme to enable throughput at low cost, and accelerate the adoption of NGS by microarray users in population and agrigenomics, complete with Gencove software for genomic analysis. “At Twist, we continue to push the boundaries of what applications can be made possible with synthetic DNA and to develop products that open up new markets. Legacy methods of profiling very large numbers of samples for agrigenomics to genotype cows, pigs and other animals as well as for population genomics studies, have not kept pace with evolving NGS methods and are tied to a fixed set of markers. Innovative next-generation sequencing methods provide far superior data to microarray technology, with the Twist FlexPrep UHT Kit surpassing even the most advanced NGS methods to maximize throughput and minimize cost,” said Emily Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. “When conducting large scale experiments and running multiple samples in parallel, researchers must ensure that there is equivalent mass of each sample included, and this ‘normalization’ process takes time, energy and effort. Using a novel technology, the FlexPrep UHT Kit self-normalizes, eliminating a critical time-consuming step while at the same time enabling high throughput, streamlining workflows and enabling scalability and customization. In addition to the differentiating capabilities of the kit, we’re collaborating with Gencove to offer a complementary genomic analysis solution to our customers.” Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gvTTt6ws Find FlexPrep here: https://lnkd.in/g_PdhhHu Twist Bioscience, #DNA #NGS

🚐 The #TwistRoadshow made a very special stop in Wilsonville to visit our Oregon Twisters! The team had an excellent time playing games, designing socks, and spending time together. Palo Alto, LA, and San Diego, we’re headed your way soon! Find out where we will be next: https://lnkd.in/g2YAGKSk

October has been a busy time at Twist! Our newsletter just dropped highlighting all the best Twist Bioscience news from the last month and where you can find us next month (we’re looking at you PEGS, ASHG, and AMP). Please subscribe and share with your network! 🧬

Our “Students of iGEM” series showcases the diverse people making up the next generation of synthetic biologists, and impactful projects they have been working on all summer. Follow along with us as we highlight a few of their stories… iGEM, #WorldExpoSynbio, #iGEM2024 #GrandJamboree, iGEM Community, iGEM Competition, Twist Bioscience

Today we are highlighting a handful of excellent webinars… Whether you're looking to learn about protein design, cell free DNA, NGS, or simply hear from leading experts, we’ve got you covered.
