Custom Bioinformatic Panels For Broad Targeting

WBL offers custom bioinformatic solutions to balance breadth, precision, and efficiency for genomic and methylation panels. Pairing biomarker discovery services with custom bioinformatic pipelines to target regions of interest, WBL’s approach reduces noise and redundancy, delivering high-quality results for methylation and native DNA studies at any scale.

Demonstrating Precision and Sensitivity

Figure 2A. Quantitative Identification of Tissue-Specific Methylation with dMS. Correlations between predicted and actual fractions of Tissue 1-derived DNA show high accuracy with 2,000 randomly selected reads, demonstrating the precision of dMS

Demonstrating Precision and Sensitivity

Figure 2B. Sensitive Detection of Low-Concentration DNA with dMS. dMS achieves accurate detection of Tissue 1-specific DNA at low concentrations, with high correlation (R² = 0.997) even with fewer than 100 reads per dilution.

Overcoming Challenges in Tissue-Specific Methylation Profiling

Identifying DNA’s cell or tissue of origin through methylation analysis has significant clinical applications, but its use in diagnostics has been limited by bisulfite sequencing biases and restricted target coverage. WBL’s dMS enables precise tissue-of-origin determination by detecting complex tissue-specific methylation signatures.

DNA from Tissue 1 and Tissue 2 was sequenced with dWMS. Bioinformatic targeting of 8,457 Tissue 1-specific regions allowed accurate identification (Figure 2A, 2B).
