New Array-Based Resequencing Approach Deepens Information Content, Speeds Next-Generation Sequencing

A group of researchers from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) and Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) have developed a technique that complements massively parallel next-generation DNA sequencing, using custom microarrays to focus on genomic regions of high interest. The method, published in Nature Protocols (vol.4, No.6), typically can be completed for a human genome in only nine or 10 days, inclusive of array captures and one Illumina Genome Analyzer run.
