Assay for routine screening of CFTR gene, 7/17
July 2017—Swift Biosciences has commercially released its Accel-Amplicon CFTR Panel, which aims to provide research laboratories with a more comprehensive, next-generation sequencing–based approach to interrogate the coding region and select introns within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene for disease-relevant mutations and variants. The panel is designed to offer a higher resolution view into the CFTR gene and produces ready-to-sequence libraries in two hours.
