Product Description
The Dovetail™ Omni-C™ Kit uses a sequence independent endonuclease for chromatin digestion prior to proximity ligation. The Omni-C™ Kit provides all the reagents necessary for performing the proximity ligation steps on mammalian samples prior to NGS library generation. The kit is compatible with the Dovetail™ Library Module for Illumina (Cat # 25004) and 3rd party standard pair-end library preparation kits for Illumina sequencing.

The Omni-C Kit offers the following key benefits:

Sequence-independent chromatin fragmentation enables genome-wide detection of chromatin contacts (up to 20% of the genome lacks coverage using restriction enzyme based Hi-C approaches)
Even genome-wide coverage, similar to shotgun sequencing, enables SNP calling, chromosome phasing, and structural variant detection
Lower sequencing burden to reach desired depth of coverage saves time and cost

Omni-C Libraries Enable Genome Wide Resolution of Chromatin Interactions

Due to the use of a sequence independent endonuclease for chromatin digestion, the Omni-C Kit offers all the characteristics of a Hi-C approach without the sequence bias inherent to restriction enzyme based Hi-C approaches. Compared to restriction enzyme-based Hi-C approaches, Omni-C provides the following benefits:

Significant overlap with data generated using restriction enzyme based approaches but enriched in long-range cis reads
