Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hybrid capture is a critical technology for selective enrichment of genomic regions of interest in genomic analysis. Despite its widespread adoption, the core methodology has remained largely unchanged for over 15 years, with traditional workflows involving time-consuming bead-based capture steps, multiple temperature-controlled washes, and post-hybridization PCR. These steps introduce…
