EpiTect Hi-C Kit For high-resolution mapping of chromatin folding, high-quality assembly of genome sequences, haplotype phasing and identifying chromosomal rearrangements All-inclusive kit – quality-controlled reagents for generating Hi-C NGS libraries Included Illumina adapters with sequence bar codes for multiplex sequencing Fully tested, robust and fast protocol – Hi-C library generation in <2 days Low sample input requirement – libraries generated from just 250,000 cells Data analysis pipeline based on open-source tools Hi-C was originally conceived as a powerful technique for genome-wide chromosome conformation capture, enabling the characterization of chromatin folding at kb resolution. However, the technology also has other important applications. For example, Hi-C is used for generating highly contiguous genome assemblies, with few and very long scaffolds, from organisms without a known reference genome. In addition, Hi-C is also very useful for haplotype phasing and detection of chromosomal rearrangements. The EpiTect Hi-C Kit offers a robust, yet simple and fast, protocol with low cell input requirements that enables generation of high-quality Hi-C Illumina NGS libraries from cross-linked cells in less than 2 days.
