Ensuring high resolution CNV detection

Learn how the SOPHiA Platform and Twist Human Core Exome Kit provide a robust and sensitive solution for CNV detection

Date & Time

Webinar Description

DNA copy number variations (CNVs) are a well-documented cause of human genetic disease. The detection of CNVs is challenging because analytical solutions must offer exon-level resolution for accurate results.

Whole exome sequencing (WES) is increasingly used to detect rare and common genetic variants in humans. However, larger data sets generated by WES further compound the challenges of CNV detection due to additional noise and biases introduced. For accurate detection of CNVs, a robust and sensitive solution is required.

In this webinar you will:
  • Learn how the advanced analytics of SOPHiA Platform has been combined with the high-quality Twist Exome enrichments kits to tackle the challenges of CNV detection in exome applications.
  • See how users maximize their sequencing efficiency and streamline their analyses.
  • Understand how the combined solution offers excellent coverage uniformity (even in GC-rich regions) and overcomes challenges associated with CNV detection to reach >90% sensitivity.
If you are interested in achieving higher detection rates and providing overall better support for the management of rare inherited diseases, this webinar is for you.
