Which assays with UMIs are supported by Varsome?

When launching an analysis in VarSome Clinical from FastQ files, the user needs to select the assay used to sequence the sample.

Some library preparation kits use Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs), a type of molecular barcoding that enables error correction and improves sequencing accuracy. These assays require specific handling on the bioinformatics side to ensure proper UMI wise processing.

We have developed tailored solutions to effectively manage UMIs in the following scenarios:

  • Agilent SureSelectXT HS2  (including Agilent Cancer CGP and SureSelectXT Human All Exon V8 - Padded with UMIs)

If your assay is not included in the list when launching an analysis, but falls under one of the mentioned chemistries, please refer to the following link for detailed guidance on how to launch an analysis and add an assay to VarSome Clinical:
