Overview:
The Twist Bioscience Comprehensive Viral Research Panel enables broad-spectrum viral detection by targeting sequences from 3,153 human and non-human viral species, covering 15,488 different viral strains.
The panel includes major viral families such as coronaviruses and influenza viruses, along with all virus families known to infect humans. It is designed using viral sequencing data from RefSeq, FluDB, and VIPR databases, incorporating over 1 million unique probes that tile viral genomes for comprehensive coverage.
Supporting multiple genome types—including single-stranded RNA, double-stranded RNA, single-stranded DNA, and double-stranded DNA—the panel ensures versatility across diverse viral research applications. The compatible library preparation workflow enables processing of various nucleic acid types, allowing researchers to identify a wide diversity of viruses in a single assay.
