seqWell and 五星体育直播 to Unveil Engineered Transposase Enzyme for Genomics Applications at AGBT General Meeting

TnX transposase development collaboration leverages strengths of both companies

BEVERLY, Mass. and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- seqWell, a global provider of genomic library workflow solutions, and 五星体育直播 (NASDAQ: CDXS), a leading enzyme engineering company, today announced the creation of an engineered high-performance transposase enzyme designed to drive superior performance in sequencing applications. The co-development of this new transposase enzyme 鈥� called TnX transposase 鈥� builds upon a multi-year partnership between the two companies, leveraging 五星体育直播鈥� strength in enzyme engineering, and seqWell鈥檚 expertise in developing tools to improve next-generation sequencing (NGS) performance. Performance data highlighting this enzyme will be presented during the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting being held February 5 鈥� 8, 2024 in Orlando, Florida.

鈥淎s the NGS technology landscape evolves, the demand for library prep products that offer enhanced data quality and high throughput capabilities has never been greater,鈥� said Dan Calvo, Chief Executive Officer at seqWell. 鈥淭he TnX transposase enzyme is an exciting step forward in revolutionizing high-throughput NGS assays by reducing insertion-site bias and delivering higher enzyme activity, ultimately enabling our customers to improve data quality and scale their experiments with faster and more efficient workflows.鈥�

鈥溛逍翘逵�直播 has a long history of leveraging our proprietary CodeEvolver^庐 technology to develop innovative, market-leading enzymes, and then working with exceptional partners to realize each program鈥檚 full technical and commercial potential,鈥� said Stephen Dilly, MBBS, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of 五星体育直播. 鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted to be working with seqWell on this enhanced transposase, and look forward to showcasing the data behind our excitement at AGBT.鈥�

This newly engineered transposase is designed to exhibit significantly lower bias, potentially providing more uniform coverage of sequenced DNA; improved activity, converting a higher percentage of DNA to library; and improved robustness across a range of assay conditions. seqWell plans to incorporate the TnX transposase into new NGS workflow kits currently in development.

鈥淓nzymes play a critical role in sequencing workflow chemistries,鈥� said Gavin Rush, Vice President of Research and Development at seqWell. 鈥淓ngineering better-performing enzymes, such as TnX transposase, enables the development of higher quality NGS library preparation products, which will help researchers generate more accurate, complete, and robust sequencing data.鈥�
