Twist Bioscience Corporation announced on March 31, 2025, a collaboration with Curio Genomics to accelerate the adoption of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows in agricultural genomics (agrigenomics). This partnership combines Twist's FlexPrep™ Ultra-High Throughput (UHT) Library Preparation Kit with Curio's bioinformatics software and data platform.
The integrated solution aims to provide agrigenomics customers with cost-effective, end-to-end genotyping from library preparation through data analysis. This addresses the challenge of NGS adoption in agrigenomics, which has lagged due to the low cost and familiarity of microarray workflows.
The FlexPrep UHT Library Prep Kit supports a streamlined workflow with favorable economics, scaling assay throughput to thousands of samples with high flexibility. This collaboration is expected to facilitate a shift from microarray to next-generation sequencing in the agricultural sector.
