HTG works with smaller samples, is less sensitive to sample age, has a faster turnaround time and has a higher sample success rate than RNASeq
HTG SHOWS HIGH ACCURACY vs SPIKED IN CONTROLS AND IS CONCORDANT WITH RNASeq 15 Technical Highlights – HTP Accuracy Comparison of differential expression analysis results between the HTG panel and RNA-Seq for a representative set of breast and colorectal cancer FFPE samples. Log fold change values for RNA-Seq are plotted on the y-axis and log fold change values for the HTG panel are plotted on the x-axis. Blue dotted line is the unity line Assay linearity and dynamic range using spiked-in ERCC transcripts. The predicted amount of log2 ERCC spike-in (X-axis) were correlated with the log2 transformed signal generated by the ERCC transcripts (Y-axis). Pearson correlation coefficients are in the upper left-hand corner of each plot.
