Precision DNA Fragmentation for High-Quality Genome and Methylome Sequencing
In this exhibitor spotlight presentation from AACR 2026, Covaris and Illumina showcase a streamlined workflow for generating high-quality genomic and methylation data from challenging FFPE samples.
This session highlights how Covaris sample preparation solutions—powered by Adaptive Focused Acoustics® (AFA®) technology—integrate with Illumina’s 5-base sequencing solution to enable simultaneous detection of genomic variants and DNA methylation from a single assay.
Key topics include:
• End-to-end FFPE workflow: extraction, shearing, library prep, and sequencing
• Performance across sample types, including real tumor/normal FFPE samples
• Consistent, high-quality library generation and sequencing metrics
• Accurate detection of SNVs, indels, and methylation patterns
• Insights into cancer biology, including global hypomethylation and promoter-specific hypermethylation
