Kapa Biosystems in collaboration with Dr. Michael Quail, The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, and Dr. Jay Shendure's lab, University of Washington, presented a joint poster entitled "Engineered DNA Polymerases Enable Decreased Amplification Bias and Improved Coverage in Illumina Sequencing" at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology conference in Marco Island, Florida. The poster presents sequencing data on the performance of a variety of DNA polymerases for library amplification in terms of GC bias and uniformity of coverage depth. The poster also introduces a novel, high fidelity, real-time PCR method for rapid enrichment of DNA library templates.

Reduce enzyme bias and improve sequencing coverage with KAPA Library Amplification Kits for next-generation sequencing. Existing PCR enzymes used for amplification and enrichment of NGS libraries introduce significant bias. KAPA Library Amplification Kits contain the novel KAPA HiFi DNA Polymerase, engineered for high processivity and capable of more balanced amplification of AT- and GC-rich library molecules.
