NEW YORK – Twist Bioscience and Victorian Clinical Genetic Services (VCGS) of Australia said on Thursday that they have jointly developed a whole-exome capture assay that VCGS plans to use as a clinical diagnostic test.
The assay combines Twist's Human Comprehensive Exome with customized content for rare and inherited diseases from VCGS to minimize gaps in clinically relevant genes and transcripts. It includes noncoding regions that are known to contain pathogenic variants.
