CORALVILLE, Iowa– On the heels of Integrated DNA Technologies’ xGen™ NGS portfolio launch in December, MLL, the Munich Leukemia Laboratory, one of the leading research and diagnostic laboratories for leukemias and lymphomas, has joined the global genomics solutions provider’s Align Program.
The addition of MLL bolsters the program’s roster of preferred sequencing providers who are united in a shared mission to advance genomics research. MLL’s extensive experience in the sequencing of exomes, genomes, and transcriptomes, coupled with IDT’s robust xGen portfolio of NGS solutions spanning library preparation, hybridization capture, amplicon sequencing, and library normalization, provides cutting-edge products and services to support researchers’ NGS workflow needs.
“Accelerating the next research discovery continues to drive the genomics industry, and unlocking efficiencies and breaking down barriers can be keys to success,” said Rajan Kapadia, IDT’s VP of Global Sales and Marketing. “IDT builds meaningful partnerships with its Align Program members to open access to innovative NGS tools and technologies for the research community, and we’re proud to add MLL to our growing roster of preferred providers. Working in lockstep with our partners in science, together we can empower researchers and help advance their important work.”
MLL is well known for its extremely high level of expertise in NGS, which it now offers with its sequencing label, MLLSEQ, to researchers beyond the healthcare system. MLLSEQ offers a wide range of sequencing experience and capacities from wet labs to informatics. Services span from genomes to exomes to RNA sequencing, along with detailed bioinformatic processing and visualization of the data generated.
“We are very pleased to be part of IDT’s Align Program as its first partner in Europe,” said Manja Meggendorfer, head of molecular genetics at MLL. “Partnering with IDT to advance genomics research was an easy decision, as the company’s work uniquely aligns with our mission. As whole exome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and oncology translational research continue to grow in demand, we are excited to work alongside IDT to deliver the sequencing needs of the scientific community and look forward to the new discoveries to come.”
IDT is a leader in gene reading, writing, and editing, and delivers innovative, high-performing NGS solutions to enable research and discovery. IDT’s comprehensive NGS offerings feature customization, complexity and scalability that break down barriers for scientists and provide them confidence in their results.
