Sequencing by Avidity enables high accuracy with low reagent consumption
SAN DIEGO, CA (May 25, 2023) – Element Biosciences, Inc., the developer of the Element AVITI™ System, an innovative DNA sequencing platform disrupting genomics, has published a paper on its novel avidite sequency chemistry in Nature Biotechnology.
The paper details avidite sequencing and the performance improvements it directly enables, including high quality, sustained accuracy through homopolymers, and dramatically lower reagent consumption.
Element demonstrates that Avidity sequencing achieves accuracy surpassing an average of one error per 10,000 base pairs (Q40) and enables a diversity of applications that include single-cell RNA-seq and whole-human-genome sequencing. Element also demonstrates an improved ability of this chemistry to sequence through homopolymer sequences.
