QIAGEN Launches QIAseq xHYB Long Read Panels, Suite Of Target Enrichment Solutions Designed To Unlock Long-Read Sequencing Of Genomically Complex Regions

• Expansion of QIAseq portfolio to Long Read Panels enables high-resolution analysis of complex genomic regions using long-read sequencing
• Supports NGS platforms such as PacBio for applications including structural variants, HLA typing and repeat expansions
• QIAGEN supporting fully integrated workflow from best-in-class sample preparation through to powerful bioinformatics for analysis and interpretation

QIAGEN (NYSE:QGEN, Frankfurt Prime Standard: QIA))) today announced the launch of its new QIAseq xHYB Long Read Panels, a suite of target enrichment solutions designed to unlock long-read sequencing of genomically complex regions.

This new offering strengthens QIAGEN's position as a provider of differentiated solutions for use on any next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms spanning both short- and long-read technologies.

The new QIAGEN panels are optimized for use with native long-read platforms, including from PacBio (NASDAQ:PACB), and designed to enable researchers to capture a broader spectrum of genomic variation. Applications include HLA typing, repeat expansion analysis, and the detection of structural variants – areas where short-read sequencing have been shown to have challenges.
