Versatile and Expandable WES Panel for Genomic Research

The Celemics Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) Panel is a highly versatile solution applicable to a broad range of projects, from inherited variant analysis in rare diseases to cancer variant profiling and cohort-based genetic studies.

With the rapid emergence of diverse sequencing platforms and continued reductions in sequencing costs, researchers are increasingly adopting WES panels to achieve comprehensive genomic analysis beyond limited gene sets. In this context, broad and stable target coverage has become a key determinant of data reliability and interpretability.

Expanding the Role of WES in Modern Genomic Research

As sequencing technologies evolve, researchers now require flexible solutions that can adapt to different study objectives and operational environments. Rather than relying on small, predefined gene panels, many studies are shifting toward WES to capture a wider range of coding variants in a single experiment. This shift has driven demand for WES panels that offer not only wide coverage, but also consistency across diverse datasets and research applications.

A Versatile WES Panel for Diverse Research Applications

The Celemics WES Panel is designed to support a wide spectrum of genomic studies, including rare disease research, oncology variant profiling, and large-scale cohort studies.

By delivering stable performance across different sample types and sequencing platforms, the panel provides a reliable foundation for both exploratory research and routine genomic analysis.

Broad and Stable Coverage Across Major Gene Databases

In WES analysis, coverage directly determines how much usable and interpretable data can be generated. The Celemics WES Panel delivers market-leading coverage across the coding regions of major gene databases, ensuring reliable variant detection and downstream analysis.

Coverage of Major Gene Databases in the Celemics WES Panel

Gene Database Coverage
RefGene99.30%
CCDS99.56%
GENCODE98.85%
Ensembl96.60%

This extensive coverage allows researchers to confidently analyze coding regions without concern for systematic gaps that could compromise interpretation.

Panel Expansion through the Gene Add-on Service

When research targets extend beyond the exome—such as UTRs, regulatory regions, intronic hotspots, specific SNP/indel markers, or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)—the panel can be expanded through Celemics’ Gene Add-on Service. This enables seamless integration of additional targets into a single experiment, eliminating the need for multiple workflows or separate panels.

Optimized Multiplexing for Large-Scale Studies

To support efficient large-scale analysis, the Celemics WES Panel is optimized for both singleplex and multiplex workflows. Starting from a singleplex configuration that ensures peak performance, the panel supports flexible multiplexing options such as 4-plex and 8-plex setups.

By processing multiple samples within a single hybridization capture, researchers can significantly reduce the number of reactions required and minimize overall hands-on time—without compromising data quality.

Streamlined QC Using CeleNM™ Beads

Multiplexing-related quality control steps can be simplified using Celemics CeleNM™ Beads. These beads enable faster and more consistent sample preparation, quantification, and cleanup, helping maintain uniformity across samples while improving overall workflow efficiency.

An End-to-End WES Solution with All-in-One Convenience

Celemics also offers an All-in-one kit option, allowing users to acquire all required reagents in a single package. This removes the need to separately plan reagent combinations, reduces supply and inventory management burdens, and helps laboratories maintain stable project timelines.

As a result, the Celemics WES Panel provides not only high analytical performance but also operational simplicity throughout the entire experimental process

The Celemics WES Panel delivers a balanced combination of broad coverage, scalability, and workflow efficiency. With flexible multiplexing options, expandable target design, and convenient all-in-one configurations, it serves as a true end-to-end solution for modern genomic research—enabling researchers to generate high-quality exome data with confidence and efficiency.
