What We Do

Boost sensitivity in genomics by removing undesired fragments prior to sequencing. 

Bulk RNA-Seq

Abundant ribosomal, mitochondrial, globin, insulin and housekeeping genes

Single Cell Sequencing

Ribosomal, mitochondrial, and non-variable genes

DNA Sequencing

Repetitive DNA, contaminating human DNA in microbial samples, mitochondrial reads in ATACseq experiments

The massive throughput increase of sequencing technology has powered a new era of genomics. Unfortunately, sequencing reads are wasted on abundant and uninformative sequences that limit the ability to detect lower abundance signals.  This is the classic ‘needle in a haystack’ problem of genomics.  Our solution?  DepleteX technology depletes fragments prior to sequencing and removes the ‘haystack’ to improve detection of informative sequences and lower sequencing cost.

DepleteX technology harnesses the specificity of CRISPR-Cas9 to degrade abundant, uninformative sequences in next-generation sequencing (NGS) libraries. Sequencing reads are then spent on fragments of interest so you can better see low level gene expression, boost somatic mutation detection, or better detect pathogens in metagenomic samples. 

Now you can see exactly what you want, breaking through the clutter—and breaking new ground. 

Benefits of DepleteX technology

Highly programmable

Increases sensitivity

Simple automatable workflow

Genomic analysis
platform agnostic

How DepleteX works

DepleteX mediated depletion can be integrated directly into NGS library prep protocols at various points depending on the application. CRISPR-Cas9 complexes are formed with a pool of designed guide RNAs. After targeted sequences are cut, they cannot be PCR amplified and are excluded from a sequencing library.
