Singular Genomics Partners With Dovetail Genomics To 'Enable Dovetail Kits for the G4 Sequencing Platform'

LA JOLLA, Calif, Jan. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Singular Genomics Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:OMIC), a company leveraging novel next-generation sequencing (NGS) and multiomics technologies to empower researchers and clinicians, today announced a partnership with Dovetail Genomics to validate its proximity ligation kit portfolio, representing the leading methods to unlock access to 3-D genome architecture, with the G4 sequencing platform.



The 3-D genome architecture at the nucleosome level is critical for understanding the regulation of gene expression. Dovetail's best-in-class products capture this 3-D genome architecture alongside primary sequence information using NGS. The long-range genomic information captured by Dovetail technology will enable more comprehensive detection of structural variation and chromosome-scale phasing on the Singular Genomics platform.

"We are pleased to announce our partnership with Dovetail to make their kits available to Singular Genomics customers. This collaboration underscores our commitment to providing a plug-and-play solution for our customers to seamlessly integrate the G4 into existing NGS workflows," said Jorge Velarde, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Strategy at Singular Genomics. "Dovetail's solutions add to the diversity of applications available for the G4."

"With Dovetail's unbiased proximity ligation technology, Singular Genomics' users will be able to create a richer view of the genome from every sequencing run," said Dovetail CEO Todd Dickinson. "We are thrilled to be partnering with Singular Genomics to enable researchers to accelerate critical advancements in precision medicine and life sciences research."
