Twist Oncology – DNA CGP Panel
/in Oncology/by Harshita SharmaPRODUCTS
Comprehensive Genomic Profiling for Oncology Research
Comprehensive Genomic Profiling (CGP) uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to evaluate multiple clinically relevant biomarkers within a solid tumor. It provides detailed genomic resolution, enabling the detection of single nucleotide variants (SNVs), insertions and deletions (indels), copy number variations (CNVs), select gene fusions, and key cancer genomic signatures such as tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI).
By consolidating this information into a single assay, CGP offers a complete view of a tumor’s molecular profile, reducing the need for multiple tumor-specific panels or separate testing methods.
Unified Testing Platform
Combines samples from all tumor types into a single test platform, enabling efficient batching and streamlined workflow.
Actionable Insights
Focuses on clinically and research-relevant information, supporting treatment decisions and drug development strategies.
Cost-Effective Efficiency
More efficient and economical than whole-exome sequencing (WES) for oncology, lowering resource use while maintaining comprehensive genomic coverage.
