What's in the Case Study?

 In this Case Study, the Genomics Center of Excellence (CoE) at Al Jalila Children’s Specialty Hospital in Dubai describes the automation of an Illumina-based rapid Whole-Genome Sequencing (rWGS) workflow, aiming to provide quicker diagnoses for neonatal patients.

Highlights of this Case Study:

  • Utility of genetic testing in clinical diagnosis and relevance of the Little Falcon Project
  • Automation of Illumina’s DNA PCR-Free Library Prep kit on Hamilton Microlab® NGS STAR
  • Method implementation on Hamilton instruments: flexibility and availability of biologically-verified methods
