Data generated using microdroplet PCR technology as an enrichment method is particularly well suited for performing sequence-based association studies, according to a paper published by researchers at the Scripps Translational Science Institute, the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, and RainDance Technologies, Inc.
The study, led by Kelly A. Frazer, Ph.D., Professor of Pediatrics and Chief, Division of Genome Information Sciences, UC San Diego Department of Pediatrics, evaluated microdroplet PCR's advantages in performing sequence enrichment for targeted sequencing over the gold-standard traditional PCR approach. "These benefits translated ...
