Tips & tricks for targeted sequencing panel design

Although ‘omics technologies have become relatively common, it is often prudent to
perform targeted NGS experiments. Targeted NGS panels help focus on regions of interest, allowing deeper sequencing of those regions for greater sensitivity. The targeted NGS approach allows more samples to be run simultaneously while reducing costs and resources. However, for targeted NGS to be successful, it is crucial to create a well-designed panel with high-quality and informative targets.

If you’re looking to simplify targeted NGS panel design, then join our webinar, where we’ll
discuss the overall panel design process. We’ll also address potential pitfalls and introduce some valuable resources to help you successfully create a targeted NGS panel using the GeneGlobe Design and Analysis Hub.
