Illumina TruPathTM Genome revolutionizes whole-genome sequencing (WGS) by bringing together the accuracy and accessibility of short-read sequencing with long-range insights. It delivers a simplified research workflow using proximity-enhanced mapped read technology, requiring just 10 minutes of hands-on time. <\/p>\n

The system is able to unlock challenging genomic regions, structural variants, and phased variant calls across the human genome, resulting in an extensive, high-accuracy human genome made simple.<\/p>\n

Simplest sample-to-sequencer WGS workflow<\/p>\n

The workflow delivers powerful genomic insights and only needs simple library preparation.<\/p>\n

Proximity information facilitates dependable mapping of exceptionally homologous, repetitive, and segmentally duplicated regions.
\nThe workflow recovers coverage of genes, including STRC and PMS2, which are comprised of >99% matching pseudogenes that typically confound traditional WGS.
\nIt enables reliable variant detection in\u00a0ambiguous genomic regions where short reads usually fall short.<\/p>\n

High-accuracy variant calling in difficult-to-map regions<\/p>\n

Experience improved precision for SNVs, indels, and SVs.<\/p>\n

Benchmarking with HG002 significantly increases accuracy compared with competing technologies. 2
\nProximity-enhanced mapping improves SNV (single-nucleotide variant) and indel (insertion-deletion) accuracy across difficult-to-map regions.
\nSV (structural variant) recall is considerably improved when compared to conventional sequencing techniques using DRAGEN\u2122 analysis and T2T-Q100 truth sets.<\/p>\n

Long-range genomic insights with ultra-long phasing and SV visualization<\/p>\n

Reveal haplotype-resolved genomes and intricate rearrangements.<\/p>\n

Proximity-mapped read technology generates phased data from hundreds of kilobases up to multiple megabases, and performs haplotype-resolved variant calling.
\nTruPath Genome phases up to 98% of small variants with input DNA extracted with a high molecular-weight kit.
\nMulti-region joint detection (MRJD) produces precise variant calls across paralogous genes, limiting the requirement for reflex assays.
\nHigh-resolution structural rearrangement maps are enabled, revealing long-distance insights.<\/p>\n

Comprehensive WGS without complexity<\/p>\n

TruPath Genome<\/a> offers the most straightforward WGS workflow on the NovaSeq\u2122 X Series while expanding the possibilities of short-read sequencing.<\/p>\n

Through the preservation of long-distance molecular relationships without complicated library prep, the sophisticated capabilities of TruPath Genome are delivered in a single, streamlined WGS assay:<\/p>\n

Mapping that can be trusted in complex genomic regions
\nImproved structural variant resolution
\nHigh-accuracy variant detection
\nUltra-long phasing<\/p>\n

TruPath Genome sets a new standard for sophisticated human WGS, delivering fast and powerful results in high-throughput labs.<\/p>\n
