A new walk-away solution for NGS sample prep: Introducing the AVENIO Edge System

New SARS-CoV-2 strains are continuing to emerge, potentially impacting the effectiveness of existing vaccines. Thus, the ability to determine the genomic sequences in samples is critical for effective surveillance and tracking of the virus. Because viral RNA represents only a small fraction of the nucleic acids in a given sample, the development of robust, sensitive sequencing methods is essential.
We have developed a method for target-enriched RNA-seq with hybridization-based target enrichment (TE) of the SARS-CoV-2 genome, enabling high-throughput analysis to discover new viral mutations and track strain transmission. The workflow utilizes the KAPA SARS-CoV-2 TE panel and the HyperCap v3 workflow.

In this webinar, we:
- Review the HyperCap v3 workflow using the KAPA SARS-CoV-2 TE panel
- Describe an accelerated workflow with a shortened 1 hour hybridization
- Discuss optional workflow modifications to increase SARS-CoV-2 reads
- Present performance data for samples containing varying amounts of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a background of human RNA
- Show that the KAPA SARS-CoV-2 TE panel can detect mutations from multiple strains within a single reaction

Automating RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) library preparation offers advantages such as higher sample throughput, less hands-on time, fewer human errors, greater reproducibility, and better process control and workflow standardization. However, developing and implementing an automated RNA-seq library prep protocol on a liquid handling platform can be challenging and time-consuming.

In this webinar, we discuss the automation of RNA-seq library prep, including:
- Benefits of automating RNA-seq library prep
- Tips and tricks of NGS automation

Automating RNA-seq Library Preparation

Understanding the cellular heterogeneity of tissues such as tumors is crucial for both translational and clinical research. As a result, highly focused techniques such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and ultra-low-input mRNA-seq are expanding rapidly to overcome the challenges that single cells and restricted cell populations pose for library preparation and reliable transcriptome analysis.

In many scRNA-seq workflows, the initial steps employ the template switching method for cDNA synthesis followed by cDNA normalization prior to library preparation. Roche’s KAPA HyperPrep Kit is effective across a 30-fold range of cDNA input amounts, eliminating the need for cDNA normalization in scRNA-seq workflows while also generating complex, uniform libraries and high-quality sequencing data.

In this webinar, we will:
- Present an ultra-low-input workflow that yields high-quality libraries from as little as 10 pg of input RNA using the template switching method for cDNA synthesis followed by library preparation using KAPA HyperPlus Kit
- Demonstrate the advantages of the KAPA HyperPlus Kit over the tagmentation-based methods, including greater flexibility on cDNA input quantities 
- Present scRNA data from libraries prepared with KAPA HyperPlus Kit
