Figure 1: Latest GATC Biotech exome enrichment strategy based on Custom Automation produces maximised variant information output and coverage uniformity. Compared to the former V5 design, using Agilent SureSelect V6 for target capturing, considerably reduces the proportion of under- and over-represented enriched targets. Proportion of targets with normal capture efficiency thereby is enlarged significantly. R1 and R2 are replicates of the experimental design.
Figure 2: Comparison of whole-exome sequencing and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Coverage profile of BRCA1 exons is displayed as an example for showing the effect of deeper sequencing on increased target capture, leading to exceptional coverage uniformity across the entire exome. With its notably deeper coverage, compared to WGS, the assay is preferably used for analysis of inherited and somatic diseases with locus and allelic heterogeneity.

If you complement INVIEW HUMAN EXOME with QIAGEN’s Ingenuity Variant Analysis, GATC Biotech will provide you with an account and log-in data to QIAGEN’s web-based software platform. Your vcf-files are directly uploaded into this account – ready for analysis. This combination provides an integrated solution for discretely analysing and interpreting your exome sequencing data in order to detect causal variants in sequenced human DNA. Ingenuity Variant Analysis is intended for molecular biology applications and is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of disease.

Delivery time
- 30 days for up to 32 samples (excluding additional services)
- Express delivery available: 12 days for up to 16 samples
Additional Information
The exome accounts for ~1% of the human genome and consists of functionally relevant coding regions (exons) which are most likely to cause differences in phenotypes. Exome enrichment is a powerful tool for discovering relevant variations by sequencing only a fraction of the human genome.
Exome analyses provide greater insight into these target regions providing valuable information for the following:
- Disease studies
- Pharmacogenomics
- Pharmacogenetics
- Clinical research
- Genetic predisposition analyses
- Evolutionary biology research (population-based studies within and between populations
When combined with the latest Agilent post-capture enrichment methods, GATC Biotech-specific protocols for fully automated lab workflows allow you to perform advanced exome analysis that provide the following:
- More targeted genes from current annotation databases, including hard-to-capture exonic regions
- Unbiased, deeper sequencing information
- Exceptional coverage uniformity across the entire exome
- Balanced coverage of active genes
Our customers benefit from our expertise with next-generation sequencing and rely on our high quality standard and certifications. INVIEW Human Exome Advance is the result of our customer-driven innovation process in close collaboration with partners from the DKFZ (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum) and the NCT (Nationales Centrum für Tumorerkrankungen) in Heidelberg, Germany.
“With INVIEW Human Exome we found the perfect tool for our clinical exome sequencing. High-quality exome sequencing data from GATC Biotech allows us to achieve an average diagnostic success rate of about 70%. The remarkable coverage uniformity retained by the latest chemistry as well as the flexibility in terms of delivery times and the data generated are particularly invaluable for our application in diagnostics.
