Twist Bioscience Gene Fragments improve your cloning process by minimizing colony screening. This allows you to save time and money by dramatically reducing cloning and sequencing costs. Think bigger, design on a grander scale, and accelerate your discoveries.

Unleash the full power of a well-designed library. With Twist Bioscience, you are assured that the library you design contains the specific modifications, exactly where you want them, saving you valuable resources for the downstream screening process.

Twist Custom Panels allow customers to create a customized NGS target enrichment panel that targets their specific regions of interest. Available for DNA, RNA, and methylation workflows, our bioinformatics team will help you design a panel tailored to your needs - created with the same double-stranded biotinylated probes that enable the exceptional performance of our fixed panels.

Twist Bioscience, the leader in synthetic DNA with unparalleled precision at scale, is redefining targeted sequencing performance with the Twist Human Core Exome Kit. This kit includes library preparation and enrichment components, allowing the flexibility to lower sequencing costs, increase sample throughput, and achieve a higher depth of coverage across target regions with uncompromising quality.

The Twist Human Comprehensive Exome Panel offers over 99% coverage of protein-coding genes, providing a solution for exome sequencing with high performance and flexibility.

Positive controls provide quality control measures for the verification and validation for point-of-care diagnostic tests including both next-generation sequencing (NGS) and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Twist offers fully synthetic SARS-CoV-2 RNA controls, available for dozens of distinct reference sequences.

The mouse is an extremely important model system for studying genetic variation, tumor mutations, and phenotypic outcomes as well as the therapeutic effect of pharmaceutical agents. As genetic variant databases are continuously updated, the Twist Mouse Exome panel is thoughtfully designed and built from the most current databases

The Twist Comprehensive Viral Research Panel covers reference sequences for 3,153 viruses, including 15,488 different strains.

Twist Library Preparation Enzymatic Fragmentation (EF) Kit 2.0 is built to help you achieve a more efficient sequencing pipeline and obtain more accurate Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) results. This updated kit has new fragmentation and ligation modules, and includes the Equinox Library Prep Amp Mix. This hot-start enzyme formulation has a lower error rate* and high efficiency at low input volumes—making it ideal for samples…

High Throughput Antibody Production by Twist is a gene-to-protein workflow that relieves the costly bottleneck in discovery pipelines by producing tens to thousands of diverse antibodies for screening biophysical and pharmacokinetic properties. You submit the antibody sequence, and we’ll do the rest.

~4x more coverage of all CpG sites

Twist’s Fast Hybridization and Wash Kit is a revolutionary new system with the flexibility to both save you time and improve the performance of your targeted sequencing efforts. It accommodates your samples, your schedule, and your performance needs: accelerate hybridization to as little as 15 minutes, or adjust the hybridization time to improve coverage for all targeted sequencing applications, including whole exome, custom…

Twist also offers Research-Use Only (RUO) target enrichment NGS panels for viral detection and characterization of samples. These panels can be used for environmental monitoring and surveillance testing, while also providing insight into full sequence information for monitoring of viral evolution and strain origin.

The superior performance of Twist Human Core Exome provides the optimal solution for sequencing of protein coding genes. The Twist Human Core Exome however focuses only on the most accurate curated subset—CCDS database. Twist now offers the Twist Human RefSeq Panel, which is designed to expand the content of the Twist Human Core Exome. When combining the two panels, greater than 99% of protein coding genes are covered.

Twist Library Preparation Kit (Mechanical Fragmentation) is designed for use with gDNA that has already been sheared mechanically. It combines the enzymes and reagents for end repair, dA-tailing, and adapter ligation into a single reaction: Accommodates a wide range of DNA input types, enables high-quality sequencing of low-quality samples and minimizes start / stop site artifacts

Twist Library Preparation EF Kit (Enzymatic Fragmentation) incorporates the reagents and enzymes needed for DNA fragmentation with those for end repair, dA-tailing, and adapter ligation into a single reaction:  Ideal for automated, high-throughput library preparation, produces tunable, reproducible fragment sizes and minimizes sequence bias, maximizes coverage depth.
