Targeted sequencing is a sequencing method that involves enriching specific genomic regions and performing high-depth sequencing on these regions to obtain precise sequencing results. It is mainly used in tumor detection, genetic disease detection, pathogen detection, and other fields. Based on different principles of targeted capture, there are usually two methods: probe hybridization targeted capture and multiplex PCR targeted capture. In probe hybridization targeted capture, probes (DNA/RNA) are designed for the target region. These biotin-labeled probes hybridize with the target region and the biotin-labeled probes capture and enrich the target region with the help of streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. MultiplexPCR targeted capture, on the other hand, designs primers for the target region and amplifies and enriches the target region using PCR. Among the two methods, the probe hybridization targeted capture process for building a library involves many steps and takes a long time. The capture efficiency and subsequent sequencing accuracy of the target region can be affected by the temperature control and consistency of operations during the hybridization and capture steps.
Principle: Design and synthesize specific probes based on known genomic sequences, and achieve capture and enrichment of the target region through hybridization, facilitating more efficient sequencing.
