Baits only, myBaits Microbial Collection, 32 samples - African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV)

Panels of the myBaits® Microbial Collection enable precise strain-level genomic characterization of pathogens directly from host or environmental samples using targeted hybridization capture, minimizing host background and maximizing sequencing efficiency.

• Improve detection sensitivity for low-abundance pathogen DNA in complex sample matrices
• Access comprehensive whole-genome sequences for high-resolution epidemiological analysis
• Reduce sequencing costs and analytical complexity compared to metagenomic approaches
• Achieve complete pathogen genomes without the need for prior culturing
• Optimize workflow flexibility for projects ranging from single to thousands of samples

Product Details

Targeted pathogen genome enrichment

The myBaits Microbial Collection, provides biotinylated RNA baits specifically designed to enrich genomic DNA from nucleic acid extracts. This targeted approach efficiently captures pathogen sequences, significantly reducing host and background noise, which is critical for accurate strain-level identification and genomic surveillance in relevant research applications.

Enhanced sequencing depth and sensitivity for pathogen research

By selectively enriching full genomes or specific gene families, these baits increase the pathogen signal in sequencing libraries. This enables deeper sequencing coverage and improved sensitivity, facilitating more reliable genomic insights even from low-biomass or high-complexity samples. The product supports comprehensive genomic analysis for pathogen research without relying on extensive and slow culturing methods.

Optimized for high-resolution epidemiological analysis

The myBaits hybridization capture system provides sufficient enrichment to achieve high-coverage, complete pathogen genomes. This level of genomic detail is essential for actionable public health insights, including precise strain typing, outbreak tracking, detailed epidemiological studies, and resistance gene profiling directly from clinical or environmental samples.

Flexible integration with existing NGS workflows

These pathogen specific baits are compatible with Illumina sequencing platforms and essentially any linear and amplifiable sequencing library. Researchers can utilize their preferred library preparation reagents, with the option to integrate Daicel Arbor Biosciences’ Library Preparation Kit for myBaits for a complete workflow. The system is designed for in-solution hybridization capture prior to next-generation sequencing. 

Comprehensive solution for complex microbial samples

The myBaits Microbial Collection addresses challenges associated with traditional pathogen detection methods, such as high host nucleic acid levels and targeted assays lacking genome-wide resolution. The use of highly specific RNA baits for a pathogen enables the recovery of the respective genome from challenging samples, delivering comprehensive and actionable sequencing data at a reduced cost.
