NEBNext Direct Custom Ready
Panels for NGS target enrichment
®
Employing the unique NEBNext Direct hybridization-
based enrichment method, NEBNext Direct Custom
Ready Panels allow rapid customization of targeted gene
panels for Illumina
®
sequencing. Select from a list of
genes for which baits have been carefully designed and
optimized to give complete coverage of the full coding
regions. High quality panels can be designed by you
and rapidly delivered, from any combination of genes.
NEBNext Direct Custom Ready Panels provide the
content you want with the performance you need.
• Choose from a single gene to hundreds of genes
• Experience unmatched specificity and
coverage uniformity
• Eliminate synthesis and optimization steps for
faster turnaround
• Improve sensitivity with our Unique Molecule
Index (UMI)
• Generate results in one day with our
automation-friendly workflow

Key target enrichment metrics demonstrate consistent performance across
a range of panel sizes. 100 ng of DNA was tested against panels of 1, 10,
25, 50 and 100 genes, and sequenced using Illumina
®
paired-end 150 bp
sequencing. Larger panels included all genes present in smaller panels.

How Fat Fights Infection
Hanging in front of the abdomen like
an apron, the deposit of visceral fat
known as the omentum helps regulate
immune responses.
